My son knew approximately where he was earlier this week (that approximation was off by 25 slots but he didn't find that out until an hour before his time slot) I only know that grade point is part of the equation, I don't know what else goes into it.

My son got the pleasure of being a bilge rat on a minesweeper this past summer...fun times!

My son got his 2nd choice of Everett, WA and is very excited!

Thanks so much USMAROTCfamily! That was the link I needed.

My son will get his ship selection on the 12th as well. Anyone know where to find the NROTC SWO ship selection list? I can only find USNA (or are they the same?) Thanks

I know someone who received an appt Nov. 15th. He was totally surprised to hear so early. Congrats all around!

UW Madison also commissions around graduation. But the hotel thing is crazy, we have a couple hotel rooms (for grandparents and family) but they are crazy expensive and at 2 different hotels.

Welcome to the forums and congratulations to your DS! Now, sit back, read lots of threads, and wrap him in bubble wrap. :)

NROTC scholarships are assigned to a school. You can't "take the scholarship" anywhere. You can attend where the scholarship is assigned (based on the list of 5 schools that you submit with your scholarship application.)

As soon as I hit "submit" I swear I heard the computer laughing.....no way we're getting monies.

The army will super score between tests and the priority is for English and math. Send both. AFrotc works differently and take best sitting. Suggest you search Pima posts for her very good breakdown of the Air Force procedure.

When my son needed to be taped we used the school nurse. I'm sure the school trainer would probably qualify but you can have him ask his admissions officer.

Great news! That's got to be a big relief!!!

No, you will be fine in khakis and a polo. The campus is on a hill. The most important thing is comfortable shoes. :)

I can't speak to your condition, but eyesight needs to be correctable to 20/20. Best of luck!
