I love a good roller coaster ride. It looks like there is not going to be very much rolled out until April as we know. This was just confirmed by the guy handling my sons application. He has names of many approved but not all the names because the boarding that continues. Some names were...

I communicated some information a few days ago that I got out of two different NROTC units. In short the units are not full and most of their list will attend the academy. This allows for more room in the NROTC scholarship pool. Okay, great I understand where this leads and it would make...

Well here come the college officers... To date my son got an offer from one state university with an offer into the honors program and a 32k merit scholarship. This is a good but we still wait on NROTC. We also found out that he is getting a letter from another state school as well as our own...

Oh well, it's in our nature to make mistakes. I don't know what happen but my sons application was submitted in late Aug. in time for the first board. Everything looked very good until yesterday. Don't know what happen but it's no big deal, we all make errors. It looks like my son's SAT...

Just how powerful is the interview to the NROTC board? Just wondering!!

I have been sitting back waiting to see if there has been any more board approved NROTC applications posted. It appears that maybe there were a very select few in early Sept. "VERY FEW!" What I'm learning is that there may be a bigger release in the first two to three weeks of November...

Okay so we live in a state that did not have any of the schools that support NROTC when my son’s application was submitted. That being said we knew of one university in the state that was planning to start the support but was not yet posted on the choice application. My son listed his 5...

I read some things about what some of these ROTC students face, exposed to, hours decicated to their unit, and expectations of just study time... I have a story that I feel is important to all of you who have children that have taken on a greater responsibility then some. Respectfully, this...

My sons recruiter contacted him... He said that his office has not heard anything regarding boarding and that the information my son saw may be what Pima explained in my other thread. He also went on to say that there may be some in re-boarding from last year or that someone may have...(hate to...

Pima, You are always out there giving some great advise and information. Thank you very much for taking the time!! I (as well as other I'm certain) have been able to give that little extra added guidance to my kid. It has helped with the assurance that no matter what he will go on to do...

My son just found a change but really no change to his NROTC app. page. It said they received his application but not selection has been made. It further showed a line item by line item of the basic information in his application. Example: Name, address, DOB, five top schools, etc. Does this...

Pima, You made mention of "competitive state". Could you please let us know how that relates to NROTC please. What states are competitive states? Thank you!!

I don't see any positive postings to date on the selection board... Is this a "no news, good news" indication?

My sons first choice of colleges... Guidance, insight, feedback? We made the visit and were very impressed. The most important person that was impressed was our son, it's a perfect match. He is not a prep school kid, he would be coming from a public school. How is the NROTC unit there...

Okay so I spoke with my kids recruiter or rather he called me... Good guy he will call my son to give him whatever news he knows and then he calls the parents. Fully engaged!! He told us the board did in fact meet as scheduled at the end of Aug. There was a lot of information flying around...

I'm wondering if anybody would know what chances my son will have at receiving the NROTC scholarship. Clearly he will be like the many that apply; however, some details may give a better idea on where he stands. 3.64 GPA NHS AP Classes - Bio and Phy Currently Classes - Cal, Physics...
