My DS received a tier I scholarship back in Nov. We just returned from a Q&A at his detachment and they mentioned that service selection is mostly weighted on GPA. Seems to me that students in more challenging majors like tier I are not rewarded by this method being that it is typically more...

As my DS still waits to hear from the USNA and USAFA, we are in the process of lining up his plan B. He is very grateful to have received both Navy and AF ROTC scholarships and has lots of great colleges to consider. He is leaning toward accepting the NROTC to CU Boulder... Any posters out...

What does a slate mean verses a region? My DS BGO said that only about 10 appointments from our region (region 4) have been given out ( mostly recruited athletes/ principal noms and LOA) and typically they have 40+/- appointments from this region. He said he would put my DS in the top 10-15 of...

Thought is would see who else is out there in the same boat (pun intended) DS-3Q- 2 noms/app completed Aug 31/ CVW Oct 2011/CA-WAITING:confused:

Just curious if there is anyone still waiting to hear from USNA? Seems like there are lots of appointment recorded (70+) DS is 3Q with 2 noms and application completed since the end of August. STILL waiting. Plan B set with NROTC and AFROTC scholorships but waiting to hear on plan A. Starting...

Wondering if anyone could clarify if a candidate with a presidental nom who is not selected as one of the 100 allocated for an appointment, is that candidate then placed in the national pool and rack and stacked with all other candidates who are 3Q w/ a nom?

I read on another discussion page that some TWE have already gone out and been received. Wondering if any bgo's out there have any scoop on this... Ds has gone from frustration at the mailbox when no BFE to relieved no TWE... Knowing the dream lives on for another day!

My DS has received both AFROTC and NROTC scholarships but is still waiting on AFA and USNA. Like many on here, SA is plan A so the waiting is painful. Curious if there are any stats on how many ROTC scholarship recipients also receive SA appointments ( assuming they are 3q w/ noms). Seems to...

Ds just received type 7 AFROTC scholarship letter in the mail today. He was notified he was passed over on the first board in December so this was a pleasant surprise. He also received NROTC scholarship in November and now is just stalking the mailman for plan A... USNA and USAFA. Hoping more...

Is it safe to assume if someone was a presidental nom and application in and complete for several months, that their WPS is not high enough to be appointed using their presidental? In other words... Do the SA appoint all the presidentals noms early in the process and at this point the 100 noms...

My DS just completed his fall senior year and is a candidate. I know he is already 3Q but wondering if it would help his WPS to send updated transcripts. He did well- not perfect.... A- physics A-government B-AP calculus B- AP Literature A- survey art ( required by HS for grad) A-...

I was reading on previous posts that if a candidate is 3Q with a nom they have a 70-75% chance of appointment (100% if principal nom and 3Q). Curious if that is typically true and if there are any stats of how many candidates were 3Q with a nom last year and how many we're offer appointments...

Curious is anyone has an idea typically how many appointments come from the NWL? Also do all nominations which go uncharged go into the NWL pool or only those who are 3Q?

DS has his interview tomorrow and was wondering if any candidates who have interviewed already could share some of the questions that surprised them or where not as expected? He has been brushing up on current events and of course can answer the typical questions like " why SA" but anything...

So DS just received notification TODAY from the MOD that his interview is this Sat at 1:00... unfortunately he is signed up to take the ACT Sat and will not be done until 1PM. He emailed the MOC and asked if he could have a later appointment time and was told an 2pm the latest interview- he...

I was hoping we could start a thread of all scholarship recipients with branch- type of scholarship and school... Please add to the list as scholarships come in! Good luck to all! 1. Crair70. (Ds)- NROTC- U of Colorado-4yr-Tier1

I may be over thinking this but wondering what the opinion is out there if having a presidential nom can hurt your chances of gaining a moc nom? The thought behind this is... Well candidate has a nom( regardless of the fact that a presidential is not competitive) so they dont want to waste the...

Does anyone know the dates for the AFROTC scholarship board? I thought there was one in early Nov? Is it monthly?

Wondering if anyone in CA has heard from Boxer or Feinstein regarding their nom packet? I understand they will only contact you if they chose to interview you and in the past they have received close to 1000 packets... No news on this end yet!

My DS was just notified he received the 4 yr NROTC scholarship. Although he is thrilled, his plan A is USNA. He has been advised to accept the scholarship as he can always turn it down is appointed to USNA. My question is, does the USNA and NROTC programs talk... meaning could the USNA...
