I would seriously consider putting down a deposit at a college choice that does NOT require you to have a ROTC scholarship. In addition, you might want to call the ROTC battalion at your top ROTC college choice and ask them whether they have any updated information about the latest AROTC board. If they (the AROTC) cannot give you any information you might want to ask the admissions department of your top ROTC college for an extension of 15-30 days while you wait to find out about your scholarship. It cannot hurt to ask.I have to decide what college I am attending and some options are only available with the ROTC scholarship, the deadline is May 1st for all the schools. Am I not going to find out in time?
Hi I am a 4 year scholarship applicant and am getting quite worried about the scholarship, should I be? I have to decide what college I am attending and some options are only available with the ROTC scholarship, the deadline is May 1st for all the schools. Am I not going to find out in time?
The ROTC officer of our son's 2nd choice school called and said many schools would take an acceptance deposit after the May 1 deadline (given the economy, etc.). But it's still school-dependent, so best thing would be to check with admissions, giving the reasoning of financial (aid) issues. You ask for an extension basically.So far, the school we've already put a tuition deposit with says they do not have a problem with us submitting deposits to more than one school (how would they know?) was their comment.
The tuition deposit is non-refundable at both our schools of interest.
I was told April Board letters should be going out this week, but it's sure quiet on this forum.
CC told me next week if they get results by Friday.
I'm hoping we will start seeing the status board change soon.
I was told we will be lucky if it is done by the end of this month, but definitely be done early may. Im hoping to hear by/on Friday or Saturday.
PMS said that AROTC will finalize the last Board decisions in two weeks. He also said he would get the results 3 days before notice would be sent to the applicants.
I sure wasn't thrilled to hear we'll be waiting another 2 weeks. But the interview went well...
My son also was told yesterday by a PMS that National Boards (AROTC) wouldn't be out for 2 weeks yet - not quite May 15th, but in the same ballpark.
