My DD was awarded the scholarship back in November during the 2nd board. She was debating between NROTC and AROTC and decided to go with NROTC this week. I believe there is another board coming up next week if I'm not mistaken.

No, I mentioned Ivy League school earlier in the post.

Thank you everyone for the replies! This is great information. She will be the first in our family to join the military so we have no clue how this process works. We will be visiting the AROTC battalion next week at her school, so hopefully she will get more information but yes I agree she...

My daughter was awarded a 4 year NROTC scholarship and a 3 year AROTC advanced designee scholarship at an Ivy League university. Currently, she is leaning towards joining AROTC because of its flexibility after graduation. I hear in NROTC, you have to do 5 years active duty - non-restricted...

Good luck! I hear REA at Notre Dame this year was incredibly selective.

Congrats!!! My DD was awarded the scholarship as well. She also got accepted to Cornell last week; she's so excited!!!

Conngratulations! So, he received 2 nominations for USMMA? I thought the different MOC offices coordinate with each so they wouldn't waste any nominations because you only need 1 nomination for appointment. Maybe, my understanding is wrong. I know what you mean about asking too many...

DD checked her AFA application portal last night and saw "Illinois - Senator 82 Nomination received". She didn't receive an email or phone call but she did receive a letter from Senator Durbin stating that she did not get any nomintations from his office, so seems like to me she got the...

The PMS from Cornell AROTC told my DD the same thing a couple weeks ago. My DD decided to apply to Cornell ED after hearing this information. He also said they keep in contact with the admissions office during the application process. Does anybody know if you get a bump in admissions if you...

DD got an email with link to access secure document with waiver decision from the USAFA first. This decision came a few days after her ALO interview, so I don't know if the interview had anything to do with the decision or it was just coincidental.

OK yes this helps, the medical team at the waiver authority has her medical file. Their requests may or may not differ, so we just have to sit tight and wait for further communication. Thank you!

My DD is almost done with all 3 of her Service Academy applications. The DoDMERB Portal shows Under Waiver Review for West Point and Naval Academy. So, does this mean that each Academy will request separate AMIs?

Got great news this week. My DD got her medical waiver approved by the Air Force Academy. She has completed her ALO interview, so we are just waiting for her MOC nomination interview coming up in November. We had lost hope for a while as I couldn't find an example of anybody who has received...

OK, then we've got to push the physics teacher to complete her LOR. He's been dragging his feet. We might have to ask her chemistry teacher from the 10th grade to do her LOR to get this thing expedited.

My DD was disqualified on 9/1. We are patiently waiting for the waiver request to be initiated. She's almost done with her application, other than the CFA and 1 LOR from her physics teacher. Do you need to complete the entire application first, or can the waiver request be put in without...

All colleges will take into consideration your trend in grades. I had a 3.3 GPA after my Sophomore year with a big fat F in Biology. I got a mouth full from my mom after getting the F. Then, somehow over the summer between 10th and 11th grade, I became motivated. I took hard courses and got...

Do you know if your DD's spondylolisthesis was dysplastic or isthmic? Low-grade (1 and 2) isthmic spondylolisthesis rarely progresses, regardless of patient age or activity level, and it has a benign clinical course in the majority of patients. In contrast, children and adolescents with...

Thank you for the information! This gives us some hope. I'm hoping that they just don't draw a line in the sand and say waiver is denied because it is grade 2 not grade 1. Each case is different and we don't know the whole story but from this thread below back in 2015, the OP stated that his...

Yes, my DD has disclosed that she’s got grade 2 spondylolisthesis. I'm hoping that because she's asymptomatic/active athlete and hasn't gotten any worse the past 7 years that they will consider granting her a waiver. We'll keep on trying until they say no. She's got plenty of backups ready...
