No NROTC notification yet

I apologize if this has already been asked, but if we don't receive a scholarship for this round, will they let us know or will our status just stay the same?
 
My DS just got the email! 4 yr NROTC scholarship to his first choice and college he has worked for his whole life-Purdue! Solid plan B is in place in case the SAs don't pan out. He has congressional nominations to both the USAFA and USNA. Great holiday gift!!!
 
Since there were awards given out today, do you think they'll still be giving them out on the 24th as planned on the sheet?
 
Also, if you applied to the RN NROTC is the selection process different than regular NROTC? Thanks.

I assume by RN NROTC you mean Nursing. The selection process is quite different. They have their own boards and at most there is one in the autumn and another in the Spring. I think some years there is only one board but don't hold me to that. So... you will not be hearing along with the regular Navy Option applicants.
 
Do they review all completed applications at boards, or do they defer applications to later board dates after they have reached their quota?

Okay, thanks. Any idea why they have less boards?

Because they need fewer nurses than line officers? Marines are the same way, just two boards.

I don't know this, but I expect at least BIG Navy doesn't get to them all in one of their boards just due to the number of applicants. That's why early is better. They will review everything at the last board. Again, just my surmise. I wouldn't venture a guess on Marines and Nurses.

Been knicker wadding since early October! Older son was notified on December 7, 2012 and his application was completed in October of that year.

Current HS Senior had application complete in August, mirror image GPA, EC's, and curriculum of his older brother at same school.

He also has better test scores and was voted captain of Varsity Swim team.

Has the environment changed that much in three years?

Well the wait is over and I can un-bunch my knickers! That was uncomfortable!
DS received email notification at 6 PM EST today that he was awarded a 4 Year scholarship a first choice school, Villanova.
He is very excited that he will be joining his older brother there next year. Check those emails and good luck.
He also just found out that school his will be closed in DC area tomorrow and Monday for the snow, 4 day weekend to celebrate!

Process is definitely not like 3 years ago for our older son, I forgot that the only constant is change!
