    To quote my favorite line from "Angels in the Outfield"... It could happen.

    NROTC MO chances (update)

    It's actually difficult to say. In addition to the interview being important, so are the actual leadership positions you held and what you accomplished in them... especially what you improved over the past leaders. Your PFT looks very good which should help immensely.

    Summer options for NROTC college programmers?

    Not necessarily true at all. It is true that less than 100% of applicants will get a scholarship after freshman year but the percentages can be high, depending on the needs of the Navy. DS got a sideload during the first semester of his sophomore year (MO). People in the know (@GWU PNS...

    Contact the unit. They will know if it's acceptable and what tier it lies in.

    AROTC to Air Force or Navy?

    Well, to be commissioned in any service via a ROTC program, one must be contracted by the start of junior year. So.... the Army would have to release him from his contract. That would be a tough hurdle. If it were me I would enroll in a college that has my planned major AND has the ROTC program...

    Email to complete NSI Forms

    Not necessarily a scholarship winner based on this. She may have just been accepted to the school and the Corps. (Some) Non-scholarship winners are also invited to attend NSI.

    AROTC Scholarship Fitness Assessment

    Well, one can always start prepping for the regular Army PFT test between now and June, which should leave you in good shape for the assessment. You'll need to pass the regular Army PFT for ROTC or the Academy anyway, once you get there.

    ROTC Scholarship's influence on admissions

    I don't see much point to reaching out to other units at this time. It doesn't make sense to go to bat with admissions if he's not certain he would attend if accepted. I recommend accepting the scholarship to #1 college and then use the scholarship transfer process if not admitted. I would...

    I don't think you would get any benefit by letting them know

    Help! Awarded NROTC Marine Option Scholarship, waiver denied.

    Keep in mind that waivers are granted by the commissioning authority, so what NROTC does has no bearing on other ROTC or Academy programs. Trying the new ENT MAY be helpful.

    That's incorrect

    Changing schools on the winner letter

    Isn't that homework you can do between now and the due date? They'll normally accommodate a transfer if possible, but if you already selected a school, it's possible they MAY require you show that the school did not accept you. Hopefully @GWU PNS (emeritus) can shed more light?
