As some people may know, I was not selected on the last AROTC board, and am crossing my fingers for this board, though things aren’t looking good, as my schools of intent haven’t locked, and I noticed last board that people who won usually had their schools locked earlier on. Anyways, I recently decided to remove one of my top choices from my list due to some actions by that schools ROO. Said ROO had been heavily recruiting me, and I had been in consistent contact with him, as well as being almost sure I was going to go to his school even if I didn’t get a scholarship. Well, a few days before the previous board results came out, he told me the results were about to come out and he “had inside sources saying that I’d be a 4 year winner in a few days”. Well, turns out I wasn’t a winner of anything whatsoever. Obviously I was pretty crushed at the time and to an extent still am because I really trusted this guy. I confronted him about it over phone and he said he “Wanted to motivate me.” What in the world does that even mean in that context? Due to his actions, I felt he may be indicative of a dodgy program, and honesty I’m in no real place to forgive him for that, so I decided to remove his school from my list. I was wondering what others thoughts are on this. Am I in the wrong? Did I over react? Thank you.
