Congratulations to all! Exciting times ahead. /happydance To those still waiting...hang in there! /hugs

Unrestricted line means you will go into the general service communities: Subs, Aviation, Surface, etc. Restricted line are those communities that require a different path such as SeaBees, JAG, becoming a doctor. All the other mids will get the same designation. And congratulations! (Well...

Congratulations! Yes, some units are bigger than others. It depends on how many cadre are assigned. I think the other thing that factors into the decision is how many scholarship students list that school as a top choice. They have to balance out the students among the schools where they have...

No, he does not qualify for Tricare until he is commissioned.

The NROTC Scholarship Coordinator is assigned as a member of the regional Navy recruiting office staff to ensure applicants complete their scholarship applications and requirements. After submitting the application, the scholarship coordinator will be assigned and will email the applicants with...

One thing you could consider outside of a scholarship is a Stafford Loan. Any student who is qualified through FAFSA will be granted $5500/year, no matter what the family income is. You don't have to repay it at all until after college (in-school deferment and six month grace period after...

I don't think it would hurt to call NETC (number is on the application page) and ask them to verify they have received everything. Good luck!

We should also have a "how to" guide that could be "How to get the most out of your "Ma'ams" :redface:

Gatorgirl: We were in a similar situation with my son, including he was not accepted to his #1 school so we had to request transfer of the scholarship and as of the date that he had to accept his university offer of admission (1 May) we were unsure that the scholarship would transfer. We told...

My son's unit issued whites at the beginning of freshman year and they keep them all the way through.

I think that is pretty hard to predict. If he's planning to go to law school, then yeah it could definitely be an impact because getting into a top law school is extremely competitive. But if he is going into a grad program in international relations, I don't think it will play that big a role...

Personally, I don't believe it's all that important. I'm sure there are others who will tell you the opposite. But here is my reasoning: a) It does not appear that he plans to attend graduate school right away, so reputation of the undergrad program will not play into this. b) If he does...

I think it would be better to have the most opportunities to compete for the scholarship. Getting the scholarship at a different school would be preferable to not getting the scholarship at all. If more board reviews result in going to a different university, so be it. Kids will adapt and make...

If you attend NROTC, you will be considered for unrestricted line positions. Basically that means you will get assigned to a service community of Surface, Submarine, Aviation, or SEALS. You are talking about SEALS...you go through BUDS and you can get qualified that way but it is extremely...

1. Take it in January (since you are a junior) and then retake it if necessary to improve your scores. You will probably want to retake it at least once. 2. Military Intelligence in the Army is probably going to be the smoothest course for you, since you don't want to focus in science/math...

Tier 3 major and little chance of getting into Duke...my guess is that you would not get the NROTC scholarship either. I don't know your stats but Tier 3 majors getting scholarships is very rare for NROTC. The Captain who heads up my son's unit told us at Orientation last year that the kids who...

It sounds like he wants you to put a bigger unit/match school as your number one choice because you will have a better chance of acceptance at the school and if you are accepted at his university then you could still transfer. If his university is a "reach" school for you, this is excellent...

Oh I definitely count my blessings and we have said from Day 1 that he was really meant to be a Terp (can I get an AMEN, Pima? ;) ). But my point was that waiting to find out if the scholarship would transfer to the unit at GW was tougher for us than waiting to find out if he got the...

We also used the fax option for my son's app. I believe the scholarship coordinator is an assigned duty at a centralized regional recruiting center, so you were assigned to the center closest to you. It is not a local option. They will work with you however. And in our case DS was inundated with...

I don't believe it works that way, at least not for the first board. I believe they assign the scholarship to the #1 unit if there is a billet available, then the #2 unit, then the #3 unit, etc. Naturally, for the first board, more spaces are available so most go to the #1 school. Then the kids...
