Just for my edification, are most of you able to correspond with enrollment officers at your schools of choice?? The one thing I don't see very often in these discussions is calling a ROO recommended to determine your status, and to verify that things are posted or changed. I welcome/encourage my applicants to check with me to make sure things are changed in their applications or to determine what their status is.
I see everyone recommending to check online status or DODMERB status or call one of the 6 ladies who process 10000 applications (one of which is TDY at the moment). Is part of the hesitation in dealing with ROOs the hesitation to "show your cards" and reveal where our school stands on your list?? I will tell you I can see where we originally rank, and it doesn't hurt my feelings if you would rather attend Notre Dame. I'll still help you get your scholarship, and probably make a pitch to you that Clarkson is a better choice, but I'll still help you get started on the pathway to Officership.
I'm sitting here in upstate New York with nothing better to do than help out my applicants. I'm sure there are a couple other ROOs who would do the same thing. But then again I could be wrong, am I???
