DS in same boat after this board.

Same boat here too. Daughter is completely frustrated and defeated; told her to walk away from it for the weekend and work on her plan B more and working with ROO at her number 1 school for other options so if she gets same results on third board she can continue the course.
 
DD was offered a 3-year scholarship to 2 of her top 3 schools!
Congrats to all the winners. And good luck to those now waiting for the 3rd board.
 
4-year scholarship to -

University of Southern California
University of California, Los Angeles
Boston University

Now I just need to decide between Navy 4 year, Army 4 year, or Air Force...

Remember that you are allowed to accept the offers from all three programs if you haven't made up your mind which to take. At some point you will need decline the offers you don't want but you can hold them for a while until you decide.
 
Have a question about the binding nature of the 3 yr AD award. If my son participates for the first year and decides that AROTC is not for him, will he have any obligation? I understand that with the 4-yr the obligation begins immediately. Thanks.

4-year scholarship obligation does not begin immediately.

Your DS can use the 4-year scholarship and walk away without any payback after the first year if he decides it's not for him.

Once he attends the first day of classes as sophomore, then he's committed.

Can a 3 YR AD winner in the 2nd round stay in the pool for a 4 YR scholarship in the 3rd round? If not, do the school programs every award that 4th year for a freshman? Or by accepting the 3 yr are we set with 3 years of scholarship and one year (freshman) out-of-pocket?

You are done...you have a 3 year offer. At the end of the process some 3 ADs get upgraded to 4 year scholarships, but you don’t recompete.
It would be in your best interest to start working with the schools to come up with a plan to pay for the first year. Keep in mind at most colleges you aren’t paying the sticker price, and having your final three years fully paid for will help convince the school to kick in a little extra to keep you around (in most cases). I would tell you that Clarkson is very generous to our 3 year winners. Not the free first year Montana is going to remind us about soon, but still a bargain for a year at a quality school.

Not correct (sorry Jcleppe) you will only have about 30 days to accept one of your offers and decline the rest. If you are waiting on acceptances and you take an offer to a school you eventually don’t get accepted to then the transfer request process comes into play.

Thanks. Any process involved with potential upgrades? Would working with ROO at his school of choice (where he got the scholarship to) make a difference? I.E. can they advocate?
