@Ohio2015Parent, Niko'smom

Thanks for the info, I'll keep checking!
 
Just got a call at 11, and my friend got the scholarship!! His last name starts with B..:shake:
 
Thanks, everyone, for your support and congrats! Just found out that he was awarded 4 year scholarship to his number #1 school choice, so he will be going to Univ of South Carolina (I agree with Pima - a GAMECOCK?!), so our waiting is over...no requesting a transfer for us. YAHOO! It's party time! PLUS, it's after noon here on the east coast, so I don't have to drink in the morning! :shake:

Hoping you get great news before you go.

Today is the day my daughter should find out if the budget will allow her to keep her teaching job so I'm nail biting along with you.

Let it be a good day all around. OT, but my DD who's in school still learning to be a teacher had her first time in front of a classroom yesterday. The teacher she's been observing(6th grade math) let her take the class for about half an hour. She called me so fired up!!!
 
well we are headed out for the optical exam for DODMERB. Maybe we will come home to good news.

Good luck to your daughter - I hope it all works out for her...Lord knows we need all the teachers we can get!
 
OK, so set back #1 has just come...ROO that originally told us the scholarship was for 4 years called back to tell me she mis-read it, it's only a 3 year...and that pretty much, if not all of them, from this last board will be 3 year offers. What has anyone else found out about the length of their scholarship? Must admit, kind of a let down after being so high...
 
Oh, and BTW, today is April 15th. Today's the day I chose in the pool!

Does a 3 year make it a "non option"? I'd heard a lot of offers would be 3 year AD - meaning you have to meet a 3.0 in MS classes and still be recommended by your PMS at the end of first year. Take a deep breath, it is still an amazing opportunity for your DS, but I'm sure the let down was like a punch in the gut. Glad they notified you there was a mistake on their part so quickly.

Hey, a good day for you all the way around! 4/14-4/15 and I have a feeling 4/18 also may all be winners!!!

I don't know the details of the 3 year - we will be meeting with the ROO at South Carolina next Tuesday when DS is on spring break so I am sure we will find out more then...and yes, it's an amazing opportunity. He was planning to go and join ROTC even if he did not get a scholarship, so even 3 years is a blessing. It just took a little bit of wind out of our sails. Still much to be thankful for!
