    November NROTC board results known?

    Well, finally heard from the Navy: "We regret..." This process is broken beyond belief! Good enough for the Ivies and Georgetown, but not for the Navy...

    November NROTC board results known?

    Still no big news here, but my son recently updated his school choices based upon his acceptances, and someone in Pensacola actually e-mailed back to get clarification. At this point I'm taking ANY communication from the Navy as a good sign!

    My wife's brother did PLC in college -- LOVED it!

    How does one verify enrollment status at the schools? My son e-mailed the CO of his top pick to ask that question, but has not received a response. His recruiter has been generally unhelpful.

    November NROTC board results known?

    Thanks! He really is pretty amazing, and I'm very proud of him. We come from a Navy/Marine family on both sides (me, my father and brother, my wife's father and brother, two of my nephews). He had no interest in joining the Army or Air Force, nor did he wish to go to any of the academies. He...

    Still nothing here, either. He got into Georgetown, GW, UVA, Fordham, and several non-NROTC schools (including Columbia and Dartmouth), and was waitlisted at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. 2220 SAT, 97 GPA, National Hispanic Scholar, Model NATO, three varsity sports, founded his own club to send...

    November NROTC board results known?

    My son's package was submitted prior to the August 2010 board. The recruiter was practically frantic to get it done, and actually came to our house to get the final paperwork signed. We were told to expect to hear something by September. We've heard nothing since then, and when I called down...

    I'm sorry for the bad news, but can fully appreciate the "glad this is over." It has certainly been maddening! Still no change here, so the wait continues... :frown:

    ...and now he's been accepted to Georgetown's Walsh School of Foreign Service, and been offered a full ride at Fordham. He was one of only 30 students selected for the dual-degree international program at Columbia -- still not a peep from the Navy. Do they really feel that strongly that...

    November NROTC board results known?

    My son is a Tier 3 also, and has heard nothing from NROTC. He found out today, though, that he was accepted to his #1 (GW) and #3 (UVA) choices for schools with NROTC units, and also to a special international program at Columbia. We've just about given up on the Navy. I think they grossly...

    November NROTC board results known?

    Has anyone heard anything this week? No change in status here. He's gotten "likely letters" from a few schools, including some on his NROTC list. We've pretty much given up hope that the Navy will come through.

    Where did you hear that? Does that include private schools?

    November NROTC board results known?

    No, just that they were getting to that point. I actually wasn't under the impression from what was said to me that notifications had already gone out. I guess in this case, no news is good news -- at least as good as we've come to expect.

    November NROTC board results known?

    I was told yesterday by someone at NETC that they are starting to send out rejection letters now for those they know aren't going to make the cut.

    November NROTC board results known?

    Mine has gotten several letters from USNA telling him that his "application is incomplete," and he has responded several times explaining that he has NOT applied and does not intend to do so. Just got another last week. I've been in the Navy 22 years myself, and of all the nonsensical things...
