My DD's school does not rank either. However, she spoke with her guidance counselor and they calculated and submitted her rank for this unique situation.

My DD is there as well...I am sure they will have a lot to talk about when they return!

Congratulations on the Foundation offer. Some young people (and their families on this very forum) saw stats like these (plus some) and received TWE's...so I stand on the side of celebrating that they were showing your son that they would like him to join them next year.

I am going to echo the sentiments of many of the posters that have responded already. You know what areas you need to address and given the drive and desire, you will certainly make marked improvements in those areas that will serve you well. Be mindful of how you word your accomplishments...

I didn't see it mentioned here, but your selection of major also impacts the admission stats. For example, if your DS or DD wishes to major in Computer Engineering, acceptance rate at a school may be 3% for that particular major as opposed to an overall acceptance of 6%. Just to be mindful...

Congratulations to your son! My DD was a NROTC 4 year scholarship winner and was also awaiting a waiver decision from DoDMERB. In her case, she did not receive the waiver approval until December during her Freshman year. It was our understanding going in that we would be responsible for the...

My DD also had a peanut allergy that required carrying of an epipen and received a DQ from DoDMERB. I am not a doctor, but based upon our experience with the waiver process and the doctors' help we enlisted, I can tell you that there are more advancements in allergy science to determine...

Again...I will agree with AROTC-dad :) No scholarship funds are dispersed until DoDMERB is passed; in this case, until the waiver is received. My DD was not the only member of her unit that was awaiting a response on a waiver. Inevitably, some are not granted. Be prepared to cover the...

I would recommend you contact DoDMERB consultants as my DD had the same issue and was initially DQ'd by DoDMERB. She too had never used her Epipen but it was listed as a prescription on her medical records. Eventually she did see an allergist that was a graduate of a SA and had to undergo a...

While no one can give you the 'correct' answer, I can share our experience. My DD received a 4-yr NROTC scholarship. She too was DQ'd for atopic dermatitis. We did enlist the assistance of DoDMERB consultants as we were new to the process and our DD did not wish to jeopardize her...

Our DD received a waiver from NROTC for peanut allergy only after she had a supervised nut challenge with no reaction. The process from DQ to waiver was approximately 1 year.

So hard to 'chill' even though they want us too :) My DD felt the same way during her process last year. She did not receive her notice regarding her NROTC scholarship until the very end of March. The wait felt like a lifetime!

Since your son is already at the Academy, I would suggest you reach out to DoDMERB consulting and get his thoughts on the process. He was a tremendous resource to us as we worked through a complicated waiver process with our DD.

Your nomination sources will list the dates that their applications open for the class of 2023, so you will need to check each of their websites for that information. You can get a basic idea of the dates that the applications open and the dates they are due from looking at this year's process...
