My DS received a Type 7.
I guess pretty good. lolWhat's the chance of it coming out today?
Hang in there and never give up!!Didn’t get it
Numbers from last year:DS was reboarded. He’s pretty disappointed right now. I reminded him how competitive these are and that there’s still a chance in March, and if not then, an in-college scholarship next year. Also reminded him that the majority of officers who commission through the AFROTC program are NOT on scholarship. Didn’t seem to brighten his mood though. But he’s a pretty level headed young man, so he’ll get over his momentary disappointment and push on.
Congrats to all who received a scholarship!
Does anyone know if you can use a Type 7 at a private school, if the tuition is cheaper than my local public school?
DD received a Type 7, 4 year, convertible to a type 2, 3 year (Technical Major). Evidently they prefer in state enrollment. DD has been accepted to VMI, the Citadel and Norwich. At this stage it appears as if Norwich is the most affordable option. We are CA residents and DD does not wish to attend school in CA. Any readers been down this path? Thanks in advance...
My son wants to go to Norwich. I live in NC. Would he have to convert it to a Type 2, or would he be able to use the type 7 at Norwich? It's much cheaper than our state schools.Does anyone know if you can use a Type 7 at a private school, if the tuition is cheaper than my local public school?
Yes, the Type 7 can be converted into a 3-year Type 2 scholarship, which means it pays for tuition and "some fees" up to $18k for three years. The last year is on you if it's a 4-year school.
Congratulations to everyone who received a scholarship.
Unfortunately, I was reboarded. Judging by the previous posts, I assume that is the ROTC equivalent of being deferred in the college application process.
Is there anything else I need to accomplish (or anything optional that I can do), or do I simply wait until the next board meets?
Thanks!
In terms of making your application look better, the only thing I had in mind (if I was re-boarded), was to try and get higher ACT/SAT scores (assuming they accept new ones after you've been declared eligible)...but if you have high scores already, it probably wouldn't make much difference. There's not really anything else you can re-do. Hope you get selected in March!
