If all goes well results could be out next week.My son was called a few weeks ago and given another oral interview for the minority school scholarship? When is that board and when are the results released? Anyone know?
Congrats. The portal probably gets stuck because we shifted from previous scholarship year to the new year. But the email is reliable!Got the 4 year email this morning! Portal still says no decision made....
Thanks Capt. Meyers and others for your guidance.
1, then 2 if needed.I was notified this morning that I was awarded the 4-year NROTC Scholarship. The Unit I was placed at I did not gain admission to. What would the best course of action be?
1.) Contact the NROTC Unit of the school I was denied at to see about reconsidering admission.
2.) File for a change of placement request to a different school I have been admitted to.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.
You can do 1 and 2. You can also contact the school NROTC unit and ask for their help to move your transfer request along.1, then 2 if needed.
This will sound like a lawyerly answer, but it depends. Does he know how many other people at the unit are competing as College Programmers? It matters in so far as the PNS has to rank all of the side load applicants for that unit.Our DS is going to lay a turd with a D in one of his Tier 2 major course. That will be his only bad grade this semester, but comes after a C in first semester calc. In this scenario is he cooked for the 3 yr sideload?
I cant find the original post, but I think you may be the one where the recruiting officer may have fumbled the package. Do you know if that ever got sorted out?Still waiting on MSI.. I am assuming my son didn't get it at this point.
Ye, that was my son... He supposedly got his application in after some higher ups got involved (I don't believe it)... Not a peep.... 3.8 GPA, 4 years JROTC with leadership, high SAT score.. band, and other things... not a peep... was accepted at the Citidel and looks like he won't go, we can't afford to pay.I cant find the original post, but I think you may be the one where the recruiting officer may have fumbled the package.

Thanks you Capt. Meyers. The class was not one with tutoring (i.e. not Phys/Calc etc) and bozo did not do what I told him is required in these types of engineering classes which is to partner up for the projects and study/do homework in a group. He tried to do it on his own and here we are. He did decent on the last midterm but too little too late. Competing with I think 2 or 3 others for a sideload - small unit at a very big school.This will sound like a lawyerly answer, but it depends.

Next, if I were the PNS, I would be checking the tutoring muster sheets. Was he accepting tutoring or no? Did he inform the ROTC staff in advance or wait until last minute?
Is he a PT rock star? Involved in lots of extra unit activities?
For me, when I see people getting less than fantastic grades in their first year, it could be part of the new socialization of the college environment. So it may not be fatal. But if the whole picture starts to look mediocre, I typically tell them to shake it off and try harder next year.
Don't give up yet. My son received a late scholarship notification last Friday. His application too seemed off the grid. I wish you the best.Ye, that was my son...

Did you find receive any results from the MSI board?My son was called a few weeks ago and given another oral interview for the minority school scholarship? When is that board and when are the results released? Anyone know? The MSI.
This is entirely possible. Once awarded the scholarship the ROTC unit can talk to admissions at the school that denied admission. Then they can reevaluate the decision.I was notified this morning that I was awarded the 4-year NROTC Scholarship. The Unit I was placed at I did not gain admission to.
