    email about ROTC scholarship

    Thanks!! Yes, he wanted USNA very badly lol! This is all something we need to discuss. His plan C has a very small ROTC program. He has a full ride to that school, so would he be able to use both scholarships if he decided to go this route, I wonder? The email states "We have 275 host ROTC...

    email about ROTC scholarship

    Hi! My ds applied to, and was fully qualified to attend USNA and USMA. Unfortunately, he did not receive an appointment to either. We had plan C fully in place and he has embraced that plan now. Well today, he received an email offering him a 3 year ROTC scholarship, based on being fully...

    C/O 2019 Mailbox Stalkers

    TWE arrived today- Can't say that I am not relieved! It's freeing to be able to have a direction. In case anyone is curious, my ds is in the top 5% of his class of around 600, ACT of 35 english and 30 math (I think the math was one of the major reasons he didn't get in), great BGO interview...

    I too, have learned so much from this forum! I feel like the majority of parents on here could be USNA application consultants!

    Wait list question

    If a candidate in your district has an LOA and is waiting on appointment to arrive and might decline appointment, do they normally go down the list on that slate, and offer the appointment to the next candidate? Wondering how that works, since they have until May 1 to decide, and most everyone...

    Nominations who have left office?

    I think that is probably really all that matters. After you are nominated, it is in the hands of USNA Admissions from that point forward.

    Nominations who have left office?

    I don't really have an answer, but chiming in to say, my son is in the same situation. 2/3 of his MOCs who nominated him are no longer in office. We haven't called anyone either.

    When do appointees have to make their decisions? Is it before or after April 15?

    BGO changed status from recommended to not recommended...?

    Might not be a bad idea to quickly scan for questionable things. I know college coaches do this, and employers also do this. My DH coached a baseball team and found out through a wide open Instagram account of one of his players that he regularly was a partaker of "dirty sprite". (and we had to...
