Aglages and House make valid points. Even after the scholarships are accepted they not be "activated" due to DQs, accepting SA admission, or the recepitent might decide against jointing ROTC for other reasons by the May acceptance date.
My son's best friend just found out his waiver has been denied today. He was going for West Point. It's heartbreaking as his dad is a 31 year Army guy and this was his dream. I guess if he had gone for a scholarship he would have lost it and it would go back into the pool.
