Congrats pv123, non-tech type 1 is amazing. If you do the math, only 5% of scholarships are type 1. Only 5% of type 1 are non-tech. In other words if 10K scholarships were awarded, (which we all know isn't the real number), 500 go to Type 1. Out of that 500, only 25 are non-tech.
I am sure you will be a candidate that will not only have Type 1, but also major merit money from the schools you applied to for admittance.
Congrats, what an accomplishment. I know when our DS was in your shoes 4 yrs ago we were naive about the importance of a Type 1, I just wanted to illustrate how big of a deal it is in pure numbers.
That being said come Sept., the det won't care left or right if you have a scholarship or not, you will all enter with a clean slate, just like you did in 9th grade for HS. It will all be up to you all over again to prove you are the best and deserve to be in the AFROTC program. The number 1 cadet at DS's det is a non-scholarship, non-tech major with a UPT slot. Just putting that out there to remind everyone scholarships are great, but if you do not receive one, it does not and will not mean you are behind the 8 ball before you even stepped foot on campus.
