These should be physical letters. And the portals might also update by the end of the week. But our website has been very finicky.@GWU PNS did you mean physical letters or emails?
Thank you for the update. In some ways, a physical letter is better than a email. At least we won't be tempted to check emails and the portal several times a day to check for a update. It's in the daily mail, or wait till tomorrow. DS did go ahead and send in his CP application for his school last week at least. He wanted to try and guarantee a CP spot while waiting for the scholarship decision to finalize. Good luck to everyone!!These should be physical letters.

Wait, can you send a CP application even if you are still in the applicant pool for a scholarship? Will it mess with your scholarship application at all? I was wondering about that, because I need to apply if I don't receive a scholarship. Thanks!Thank you for the update. In some ways, a physical letter is better than a email.

It should not effect your scholarship.Wait, can you send a CP application even if you are still in the applicant pool for a scholarship? Will it mess with your scholarship application at all? I was wondering about that, because I need to apply if I don't receive a scholarship. Thanks!
The battalion at my DD's first choice school told her to wait until she finds out one way or the other about the scholarship because he said it was a fairly simple process to apply to be a college programmer.Wait, can you send a CP application even if you are still in the applicant pool for a scholarship?

Just wondering if you know whether portals were updated? DS says his portal still shows no decision, but not sure if that’s b/c not updated. Many thanks.These should be physical letters. And the portals might also update by the end of the week. But our website has been very finicky.
The portals are supposed to update when the letters are mailed out. That's all I have heard from the IT department.Just wondering if you know whether portals were updated? DS says his portal still shows no decision, but not sure if that’s b/c not updated. Many thanks.
Sounds like I live another day!The portals are supposed to update when the letters are mailed out. That's all I have heard from the IT department.
Good information as always! I know my DS last year worked very hard to prep for the interview. I interview anywhere from 50-100 recent college grads annually. Also a lot of mid-career candidates for non military positions in my field. The performance by candidates under about 22 years old interview really not impressive. That lack of skill set is the norm and should always be a coachable section especially when it delivers such a big part of score. Every board of every branch is filled with great potential and some get left out due to this. Very interesting to see someone "in the know" identify it as a common missing link. Especially since I have a Jr in HS who will be in next years ROTC application process.So, as the title suggests, letters will be sent out this week for those who were non-selects for Navy Option NROTC. I do not know if Marine Options will be notified of non select status, but it seems as though most have been notified if they were selected. I would recommend MO who have questions reach out to their ROO for their status.
There will be around 138 notifications going out, and there are still around 150 that are sitting in the alternate queue. This does not mean every alternate will be selected, but I would say it means if you were non-selected and proceed on to be a College Programmer, you have a very good chance at the 3 year sideload next year.
Without going into too much detail, I took a look at most of the scores for non-selects and a driving factor seems to be performance on the interview. It's hard to make a generalized comment about why that can be a factor, but I believe people tend to focus a LOT on extra-curricular activities but do not really prepare for the interview process. Just something to consider for those of you who are looking to apply for the next cycle which just opened up.
Exact same situation here.... tier 3 though sooo hopeful, but realistic!So far, DD’s portal still says no decision and she has not received a letter, although I realize one could still be delivered next week. Hope is an amazing thing! Still watching for good news from either NROTC or USNA But, at the end of the day, if both turn out to be a no, things will work out! As the fictional coach Taylor said, “clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose!” We definitely live by that motto in our house!
So just a little added stress for you! As if there isn’t enough alreadyExact same situation here.... tier 3 though sooo hopeful, but realistic!
Right?! We are all dealing with stress in our lives but this year is about to do me in lol. Also waiting on hubby's orders so we can move 7000 miles away overseas in less than 4 months, trying to sell our house, manage a lawsuit from an accident that put DS in great jeopardy for any sort of military service and therefore DoDMERB waivers, raise two younger kids with endless soccer practices to drive to, and DH works out of state currently, home every other weekend. This too shall pass is all I can tell myself!So just a little added stress for you! As if there isn’t enough already
Perhaps you could pick up a few hobbies to help destress your life?Right?! We are all dealing with stress in our lives but this year is about to do me in lol.

So, to clarify, all alternates will be notified of their decision within 10 days?Perhaps you could pick up a few hobbies to help destress your life?
Ok, you can put down the brick.......I was attempting light humor. Our final board commenced this morning, so in a week to 10 days, this season will be a wrap.
