Letters?

Received mine here in NY

I haven't received mine here in Maine which I would assume is due to the snow...
 
You might also check your AROTC Portal, within the Application section, look to see if they have uploaded your letter to the "File Upload" tab. The full set of instructions is not there, but they did upload my DS' letter and the page he is to send back into his portal. Ironically it arrived within his portal about the same time the mail man delivered the hard copy letter today. It is an orange envelope and is a little larger than a normal letter.

Did your son get his DoDMERB letter yet?

Letter came 2/7 , dated 1/30. DoDMERB Qualified letter dated 2/2 arrived 2/5. Nothing new in AROTC Portal other than extra options for what type of file I can upload.
 
"Medically Qualified and pending admin approval":

Translation: DoDMERB and APFT. Plus the actual contract of course

Axxif - The yellow page with the description for each status type indicated things other than the APFT for "Pending Administrative Qualification" They recommend emailing CC (address on sheet) and ask what needs to be resolved.

Did you have to resolved anything not listed in the letter?

Checked my mail yesterday and to my surprise - none! Status still shows Boarded :-( should I be concerned?
 
In other words, what you're telling me is that I did not get selected for a scholarship on the 2nd board, is that right?
 
If your status didn't change to winner then no, but don't be discouraged! There is still one more board left! There are numerous people who have gotten scholarships on the last board.
 
I have not received a letter yet here in NY nor has my application changed its status from "boarded." However, if I pretend that I am uploading a new file it does give me the option to say that the file is a scholarship acceptance. Does this mean anything or is it standard to everyone regardless of scholarship decision? I have emailed my enrollment office to see if he has any further insight. Thanks for the help

That is an option for everybody, regardless of what your selection status is. This means you did not get selected from the 2nd board, but hang tight, there will be a 3rd board

The letter (dated 1/30) has "medical qaul" but I received notice from DoDMERB of AROTC qualified (dated 2/2). There is also an "administrative qual" and it may be the APFT but the directions suggest emailing to find out what needs to be resolved. It may be nothing or just the APFT but I'm emailing anyway to find out. Better to have facts than assume things.
 
I would suggest reading a copy of the scholarship agreement after you read your letters (Army Form 597-3).
I have attached it for your convenience.

DS got his today. Needs it signed, school checked, and delivered back by 3/01/15. Will scan it and email it. I assume we will get a confirmation when we email it. Oops forgot to mention, Illinois.
When my son got his scholarship for the first board, he emailed it in and requested a confirmation. He never got a confirmation, so he also uploaded it to the AROTC Scholarship Portal and then his portal was updated showing the school he had selected.

Everyone has access to this regardless of the decision. If your Portal does not say "Winner" at this point, you have not won a scholarship, yet, but will be up for the final round of scholarships. Good luck!
