Good morning.
My son received a call this weekend the AROTC Colonel of a University (which should be an out of state safety school) my son has applied to. The Colonel was very encouraging to my DS and indicated that, in his opinion, DS is on the cusp between a 3 year and 4 year scholarship.
As this was THE first time somebody had contacted my DS, he was thrilled by the positive message and encouragement.
My husband believes this was primarily a recruiting call and that the Colonel’s opinion is to be evaluated with a healthy dose of skepticism. The Colonel did tell my son that he isn’t involved with the awarding of national scholarships.
Are these phone calls routine and primarily a sales pitch for their school? I would love to hear that the Colonel’s words are indicative of DS’s chances while also knowing the outcome of this process is a huge unknown and now out of his hands.
Thanks!
