Cool beans:biggrin:

I honestly don't know what they are looking for. However, I think you might be correct about the schools you want to go to. My son put down schools he had been accepted to or was pretty sure he could get accepted to. His ACT was lower than most but he has decent grades and activities. I am...

As I said, my response wasn't intended to sound snotty.

To House06: Not sure where your feelings came from. This is a public forum and people are allowed to express views, opinions, comments, etc. If we sound a little confused about the whole process, that is probably because we are. I personally have never called a PMS or CC and gotten snippy...

Holy cow.....

I am not even going to begin to sound like an expert on this subject. With that said, "It means that there was an update to your medical status and that you can check your status" sounds weird. I mean, my son has never had anything to do with the medical boards. He has never even talked to...

That is the same with our son. He interviewed with his local choice and never heard from him again. His 2nd choice has been very active, sending emails to the kids, etc. That really left an impression on my husband and me. We have never heard from the other schools.

Just curious, has anyone else been contacted by a PMS? We haven't heard a thing. Maybe others were just more pro-active than we have been?

I agree. My son applied (and was accepted) to schools that he felt fit his qualifications. With a lower ACT score, I can't help but feel that school choice really plays a part. Or not....we may never know the "mystery" behind the ROTC boards.

Phemp... My son had a 21 on his ACT (not that great and we assumed he wouldn't get a scholarship because of it). However, he maxed his interview, did the the Army physical fitness test (which he did well in), has a 3.4-3.83 (depending on weighted or not), dual enrollment community college...

My son had his application done and submitted for the first board and the others that came after.

No clue...but my family is going crazy guessing. Well, my husband and I are. My son says he won't believe he won a scholarship until he gets it in writing.

Thank you!!!!

Ugh...don't even think that. My family is on the moon right now...

OMG.......checked my son's status this morning, nothing. Just checked again and he has the "You may check your medical qualifications..."!!!

Nothing here....

I don't think I would want my son to give up a scholarship, if awarded. However, with the way things are (economy and all), it pays to look at all options. His number one school of choice would give him in-state tuition and he would receive the $4500 tuition assistance grant (which takes our...

CC gave us the dates of 2/14, 3/1, and 4/5/2010. But, I guess they change it around as they see fit. My son has started looking into the SMP. He likes the idea of getting real army experience, money for tuition, and he gets paid more money per month. Still, I wouldn't mind see a four year or...

He's only talked to the two that he really, really, really wanted to go to.

"Are all his schools in the same ROTC battalion or has each of the ROTC reps at every battalion told him the same thing?" He has had contact with an out-of-state school (this is the school that said he probably wouldn't get a scholarship). His local choice thought he might get one in the...
