The bottom line current still says Your application is at the Marine Corps District for Board Selection so does this mean i have not been denied?Was that for the second board or the first? The bottom status is the current status.
My son says the same.The bottom line current still says Your application is at the Marine Corps District for Board Selection so does this mean i have not been denied?
Yes. The top line should say application submitted, then the next is a rejection (from first board) and bottom is at the board for review.The bottom line current still says Your application is at the Marine Corps District for Board Selection so does this mean i have not been denied?
Hey im going through the same thing, and wonder if youd be able to help clear my mind. I havent heard back yet, mid to late april is when ill know, and i figure i have a 50/50 chance to get a scholarship. If i dont get one, i still really want to do nrotc. How do i join the NROTC without the scholarship? ive had a hard time figuring that outI completely understand. When DS got a "Thanks, but no thanks" it was mid-April. But that was plenty of time to execute plan B which looked just like plan A but without the scholarship. As long as you have plan B lined up there is really no cause for concern. You'll find out in plenty of time.
Thanks for the help. Im going to Purdue on monday for a campus visit so ill be sure to talk with the NROTC thereThere are two or three courses you need to sign up for during freshman orientation. The NROTC unit at the college you attend (presumably it has a unit) can tell you the specific courses. Basically it's the first Naval Science course, Navy Lab, and Navy PT. They might go under different names and course numbers at different colleges which is why I suggest you contact the unit for specifics. Once you're signed up for these courses the freshman adviser at the unit will send you some forms - a physical you need to get (like for a high school sport) and some others. You'll also receive info on when to report for NROTC freshman orientation, what to bring, etc.
It's important to sign up for all three classes as students can take the Naval Science course without being a part of NROTC. It's always helpful to contact the unit.
Thank you, this is a lot of help for me. Which would you recommend, out of the two options, that I do? It seems that its very difficult to get a 2 or 3 year scholarship. As an out of state student who is paying for college himself, Purdue is about 45k a year for me, so a scholarship would really help me out. That being said, I will still join the NROTC, scholarship or not. Would you recommend that I wait until the first semester and try for a four year scholarship again, or join and compete for a 2-3 year scholarship?@JakeReitz have you looked at the Purdue NROTC website? There is a lot of information on their college program.

Good luck and enjoy your visit to Purdue.
It's a difficult time for the kid (as well as the parent) -- even for those of us that generally knew how the process went. My son didn't get the scholarship the first time around, but was selected for the 4 year during the early board the following fall while he was a college program mid.
Again, I hope anyone in this situation is already well on the way to executing secondary plans.
