Well the first semester of college is complete, and things were not quite as "easy" as high school! :redface: My son is a college freshman on an AROTC scholarship and his first semester GPA was lower than he hoped for--not low enough to put him on acemdemic probation at the school, but low...

I just wanted to give a little input into the "Tufts Symdrome" discussed here. My son was an AROTC recipient last year and it was the most nerve wracking time in my life!! He submitted his application in mid-October, along with applications to all 5 schools on his list. By the end of December he...

AROTC My son started school in August and passed the AFPT Sept. 8th. He had a direct deposit on Oct. 5th for the books and what looks to be a partial stipend. Either that or there were some taxes withheld. Not quite sure how they arrived at the amount since he didn't receive any type of...

Just as an example that every school is indeed different: we received an account summary from my son's school today and it shows his scholarship has already been applied. School starts Aug. 18th and his PT is scheduled for that morning. We live very close to the college, so my son has been going...

Congrats to all! It has been a long journey and I am so glad to see good news for folks. My son was awarded the scholarship from the February board and he was just medically qualified yesterday!! If I thought the scholarship wait was bad, I had no idea how difficult it would be to wait out the...

Thanks so much for taking the time to write out such detailed information. It is tempting to fall in to the comfy niche of thinking that once you receive the scholarship that everything else from here on out is the easy part. Rarely do we get to hear about what happens after. Thanks again!

My son received a scholarship in this last round and his status has changed online to "accepted a scholarship to NC State pending medical review" within two days. He mailed the letter back February 8th and I faxed it the same day. The interesting thing is he received ANOTHER letter in today's...

Does anyone have a phone number to contact CC? My point of contact person's voice mail states she no longer works in the scholarship division, but I cannot understand the email address on her message and she does not leave an alternate phone number to call. Basically I am looking for a phone...

Thanks, Bruno, for posting that link. My son is so hoping to be able to attend VMI next year so I cannot wait to show him these pictures. He is inching closer to seeing his dream realized--he has received a 4 year AROTC scholarship, but it is not to VMI. He will be requesting to transfer the...

Thanks! I appreciate everyone's well wishes! This board was so helpful to me in December when there was a major paperwork "snafu" for my son. He missed the December board because of the interview not being submitted, and CC was extremely helpful in getting things corrected as soon as possible...

Keep checking!!! I have been quietly reading all the posts this week of everyone's staus changing. It is so exciting to see some people moving forward, but I admit being a little bummed that my son's status did not change. I was especially bummed to see the post yesterday where a PMS told...

An FYI, for what it is worth: We met briefly today with the PMS at my son's #1 school choice. While we were there, he ran a report which lists all of the scholarship recipients for that school. My son's name was not on the list, and then he told us only the people who went before the October...

Thanks! I just have to say how glad I am that I found these boards. It is so comforting to know that I am not the only person in the world who is so IMPATIENTLY waiting on news that will literally change my son's life. Thanks for making me feel normal. :rolleyes: At least I know there isn't...

My son applied to VMI this year and he was not required to interview or have a recommendation from an alumni. He received his acceptance in November and he did not apply ED. Sorry I can't help with your question of what the interview entails, but maybe it is required since you are applying as...

Congrats to you and your son! A very Merry Christmas indeed!!!!!

Just to give an update on my son's drama. We sent everything again last week, and he received an email from CC on Friday that his application is complete and he will go before the next board on January 12-15. The webpage still shows the same status--"you have been selected for an interview...

Thanks to all of you for your advice!! I have copies of everything and have scanned and emailed it to Cadet Command. Good idea to fax and Fed Ex as well; I will do that this afternoon. The problem is the interview. I don't have any documention on that, so I suppose I have to have faith that the...

Well, this is very discouraging. My son's status has still not changed on the website, but I keep reading where other people's status is changing. He was accepted to VMI last week, so he called the AROTC contact there today and was told that there is no information on file for him at all! They...

He did not ED, which is why we were surprised to hear back so soon. We have much to be thankful for, that is for certain.
