Boarded/Under Consideration

Hello, I received the same notification. I am under Boarded/Under Consideration even though I was a very competitive applicant. Hopefully this is an error, as it seems impossible for the board to make decisions so quickly (since they gathered very recently). I emailed the Department of Army through the portal and will update this thread when I receive a reply.
 
Please let me reword my question from earlier. Our DD was not selected during the first board. Her site has said Boarded right along. Yesterday morning it changed from "Boarded" to "Boarded/under consideration". Would this pertain to the first board? or would it pertain to the second board? Does it mean we are now waiting for the third board? Concerned as are others.

Keep in mind that I was also just going for the second board. I wasn't considered for first board because I didn't submit my application in time for that board.

Nobody knows yet. We are all in the same boat.
 
The fact of the matter is that all of us are having the same problem and are obviously worried that we weren't chosen. If you read the thread, there are multiple responses suggesting this is an IT issue, and that it would be ridiculous for the board to have decided on our applications so quickly. We're all worried and struggling to be hopeful but there's nothing we can do about it now other than pray.
 
Here’s the question; has anybody gotten a winner notification, or are we all in the “boarded/under consideration” boat? If nobody had any other status notification, it’s likely that results for the second board haven’t been released, right?

I emailed a contact at university who works as part of there ROTC department and they said 2 to 4 weeks and this was repeated earlier in the thread.
 
Just a couple things to think about.

1) you can never use what happened last year or even the last board as an indicator for how things will work on the next board. Cadet Command seems to change procedures more then I change my socks.

2) While the notifications are not posted for up to 2 or 3 weeks (Sometimes longer), it doesn't mean the selections haven't been made. The offers need to be approved and then uploaded into the system, this takes time. In short, the selections are made much sooner then the status changes are made.

3) Don't get caught up in how competitive you think or have been told you are, the only people who count are those on the board and nobody knows what they deem competitive. As it's been said before, almost everyone is as competitive as you and they only award so many scholarships.

4) Don't get to caught up in what is posted on the status page, especially when it seems to be something new, there really are not very many people assigned to making the uploads and changes and there have been and will be glitches.

5) Always be thinking of a Plan B....C,D and E if need be. There are many ways to achieve the same goal, just make sure you do your research and be ready for anything

All of this new information sure doesn't make the waiting any easier, the best you can do is take a breath and wait for something official.

Best of luck to you all.

Great post
 
Red box has been updated with a new explanation. Much better understanding now...
 
They updated the description for Boarded/Under Consideration:

"Boarded/Under Consideration: This applicant falls into one of two categories: If you were Boarded during the OCT Board, you were not selected to receive an offer from that Board; however, you remain eligible to receive an offer from our JAN or MAR Boards. If you were Boarded on the JAN Board you are in this status simply because the results from that board are yet to be processed."
