So, I've read elsewhere on this forum (but can't find it now...) that one can still apply for the 4-year scholarship AFTER you graduate - IF you haven't taken more than 30 semester hours of college credit. My DS is interested in healthcare, applied for the Nursing option but wasn't selected -...

Apologies if this has been answered already, but.... - status page STILL says "you have been selected for an interview" - PMS says son was NOT chosen in the April Boards - I wrote Ms. Wright (above) 2 weeks ago, but have not yet heard back Still trying to find campus-based scholarships...

Thanks for the supportive comments, and the suggestions. Max student loans are $5,500 for a freshman, while in-state tuition here is $8-$10K. Add fees, room & board, books, etc. and you're looking at $20K / year - and there's no chance we'll be able to cover the extra $15K (long story short...

Well, looks like it's over - and not the outcome we were hoping for. Status hasn't changed, but PMS for my son's top school called back today to say he wasn't selected by the National boards, AND that - contrary to what he said previously! - there aren't any 4-year campus-based scholarships...

The concierge service is indeed appreciated, but some general guidance on how best to approach various situations BEFORE we get into the midst of the whole process would also be beneficial. Ultimately, every person's circumstances and situations are unique, and making a physical...

Followed the advice of an earlier poster: conversation today with PMS at the top-choice school, he says he expects to have the National board results in 24 hours, so DS is to call back same time tomorrow. PRAYERS ARE IN ORDER! (and most welcome) ...and best wishes to all who are still...

I am sure that we all owe a debt of gratitude for what Mr. Mullen does to faciliate DoDMERB issues. However, I have been reviewing posts all over this forum, and in MOST cases, they END with Mr. Mullen saying "Send me an email" - even, as in this case, to a generic question on how different...

From what I have seen on other threads here...YES, this is a good thing: means he's been selected to receive a scholarship, and now goes to the Medical Review stage. Congratulations, and best wishes for his college experience, and his service t our country.

It's 2PM EST, status still the same. Son was asked to have a follow-up call tomorrow PM with the PMS at one of his preferred schools - PMS said he would have word 3 days before candidates would be notified, and that Son should talk to him again at that point to see what his options were...

What about those who re-apply for a 4-year scholarship the year AFTER graduation? Without the ROTC scholarship, my son won't be able to do more than take a few classes at community college while working part time this next year after graduating this spring. I can see where someone who goes...

Sure has been (relatively) quite on all these forums the past week or so.... NROTC responses from the final Boards of the year seem to be back - haven't heard many acceptances, just a few "not selected" responses. Anyone have any more news about when AROTC answers from their final Boards...

Army doesn't have specific majors, but my understanding was that pursuing the "Nursing Option" would put you on a different "track" than standard AROTC applications. Anyone have any more insights they can share? Thx!

Seamus170, We were in the same boat, hoping that "no change" to the NROTC status page meant DS was still in the running. However, just checked, and we finally have an answer: NROTC website status now says "We are sorry, you were not selected for a scholarship. You will receive a letter...

Mel2001, was your DS not able to get Arizona to extend the deadline? Again, my DS has called all 12 schools this week, and all were willing to delay - only one (Purdue) put a hard-and-fast May 15th response time on it. We've seen a LOT of schools push back their application deadlines -...

My son also was told yesterday by a PMS that National Boards (AROTC) wouldn't be out for 2 weeks yet - not quite May 15th, but in the same ballpark. Kydad, sorry to tell you this also, but same PMS said he would be waiting until the final National Board results before he decided about any...
