Hello. My daughter was accepted into Yale and Princeton. Yes NROTC was the key. In end, she decided not to attend either school or use her NROTC scholarship. Something she never anticipated nor her parents. She decided to take a full ride academic scholarship to another school (non-ivy).

-Does the commander at the unit where the scholarship was placed, receive the complete NROTC scholarship application that my DD filled out? -My DD is speaking to a commander at a different school (very interested in her), but not where her scholarship was placed. If a another commander a...

DD submitted her application on 1/20/17, so it was from last week's board

I went outside, took a deep breath and let out a big Texas..."Yee Haw"; coworkers were laughing pretty hard. I agree she will reach out to the Yale NROTC staff asap

The 1st BRUTAL wait is over. DD just got notified as 4 yr NROTC Scholarship Recipient and it was placed at Yale. She screamed with "Joy" between classes!! One very very happy girl!

I really appreciate your perspective and sharing you son's story. I think DD has a tight window of opportunity. If she does not get the scholarship awarded to her at this board (Feb 6-11), then I think her chance of having NROTC commander advocate for her will disappear. Plan B is prepared and...

Your answers have all been very helpful and I thank you. As most people have experienced, DD and parents are in "WAITING and UNKNOWN" period which is stressful. Quick summary of what we know: Everything we have read about HYP there seems to be "soft" hooks compared to sports "hard" hooks: -...

What is a reasonable candidate for any ivy is the $64,000 question? Everything we have read she is above or at 75th percentile for HYP. Has all her extracurricular stuff and sports leadership...etc..! Hard working kid and wants to be Naval Officer. She has already been admitted to some...
