Army ROTC 2nd Board Results!

If those numbers are correct, why would they accept a batch of applicants for the third board as test flexible at 998?

They probably won't. That has been my speculation all along. There will be enough qualified applicants with test scores that it won't be an issue.
 
Generally, and maybe more this year. Are the majority of the scholarships given out on the third board? 3 year and 4 year don't matter. Just the majority? As Montana state ROTC said, 1,194 were awarded (including board 2) but wasn't the past total 3,000? does that mean on board 3 ~1,800 scholarships will be awarded?

If so, CC is still way short of the total numbers in previous years. They will need to award more scholarships in the third round than the first two rounds combined.

Good point, but I think that is about right in terms of split. The 3rd board has by far the highest numbers since the vast majority are 3 year. So - we are at 1193 with only 450 - 3 year offers - that means 743 - 4 year, which is roughly 25% of 3000. If math stays true, 25% will be 4-yr and 75% 3 year. Assuming the majority of 4-yr are awarded on Board 1 and 2, that would leave about 1800 - 3 year scholarships left on the last Board. Which is in line with last year.

PURE SPECULATION ON MY PART - but the math looks ok to me.

For the academic year 2018-2019, more than 7,000 high school senior applications for the scholarship were reviewed.

About 3,000 applicants were awarded a scholarship. About 25% of those were 4-year scholarships and 75% were 3-year scholarships.

So would it be possible that those numbers aren't "final" 2nd board numbers? Perhaps they will add to those numbers when they see what they have after tomorrow???

Thanks for posting this. Can you comment on those stats as compared to years past? My take is that the standards for the scholarships awarded will be the same this year as in years past, even if application numbers are slightly down.

Can you also speculate on the % of applicants that have posted at least 1 standardized (SAT/ACT) test?

Thanks for all you do on this Board. You are 1 of a handful of people that can actually provide real time info!

I’ll have to data mine. Or ask. I agree that it will be helpful and will work on it.

My personal, uneducated, opinion is that they are waiting to decide how manny to award in the second round based upon how many live applications they have for the third round.

Montana State ROTC already said they have decided on 1,003 applicants on the second board to give scholarships. They also stated above that there is a review period before the list is sent out. I believe they are in the review period and just waiting for the list.

The 2nd round numbers are final. "This past week USACC awarded scholarships to 1,003 high school students as part of the second (of three) scholarship boards. These scholarships included 553 four-year offers and 450 three-year offers bringing the total scholarship offers for the year 1,194"

Next step is for the lists to be distributed.

Ok, then. That's a big gamble on the part of CC. It will be interesting to see how this works out. They have a long way to go.

What is the gamble? Not questioning, just trying to understand what you are thinking on this. I enjoy this discussion and think it is yet another fascinating part of this whole COVID cluster.

If they hold too much back now, they might not meet their recruiting numbers. That will be a promotion killer for everyone in the chain of command. Again, the Army, keeps rolling along. The need for LT's across the Army won't diminish.
