DS applied to USNA and six other schools, all of which have NROTC, was accepted at 4 of the six and is waiting to hear from USNA and one remaining school. Three of the schools have offered him a spot in their honors colleges, and two of those are engineering honors programs. He completed his ROTC application in December and had an interview in early January. He said that the officer who interviewed him told him he didn't understand why he was bothering with ROTC because he would surely be accepted by USNA. In February a different officer contacted him by email and told to go to the local recruiting office to complete forms related to drugs, debarment and "understanding." I may have that wrong, but he said it took just a couple of minutes to complete the forms. He completed the forms. Until today his portal indicated they had not been received. Today he can't even log in. The site states that the 2014 application year has been closed. When he has called and emailed his contact (an officeer, I believe), the contact says he's working on it. Today, no answer (yet). While USNA is his dream, we're trying to be realistic and figure out the other path he may have to take. He doesn't seem to be able to get any answers. Is there something we are missing? I hope I've posted my question in the right place.
