There will be some more paperwork but not until june or july. government red tape stuff, security clearance app. This is a good time to start thinking about visiting the school and the unit. Just get through senior year, get in shape because the PFT will need to be passed. No drugs, urine...

Yes, DODMERB change was noted on Thursday night, confirmed it with a call to Pensacola Friday am, the letter arrived three days later in Monday's mail. It was his first choice unit as well UPenn unit via Drexel. What a thrill it is to see that change on the DODMERB page. Again...

Congratulations PositiveThinking!!!! You should be getting a letter soon from NROTC. That's exactly how we found out about my son's scholarship. We called Pensacola the next day to confirm our suspicions. What a great day for you and your son. Go Navy!

Get used to it. Last year we looked at that page from August until February. Have you been accepted yet to any of your college choices? Call you top choice units to see if the unit allotment has been meet yet. Speak with the ROTC freshman advisor at your top choices. If you have been...

I've heard it may take a couple weeks for posting on the site. Watch the DODMERB site, that may change before the NROTC site. If it shows the NROTC has called for your DODMERB results you know you are getting the letter.

anytime I can help. Used this site alot last year when we were going through the process.

According to the NROTC site, they take the best scores from two different tests to get the best combo for the applicant. USNA has the same policy.

DODMERB and NROTC Just from personal experience. Apps for USNA and NROTC were in before start of son's senior year. USNA request for DODMERB showed up right away since it is part of the app and needs to be passed before you go anywhere. The NROTC doesn't ask for a DODMERB physical unless...

Tigerman14, That no decision means exactly that, no decision has been made. If your application is complete it has probably been looked at over the past reviews but did not get picked....yet. My son's page stayed like that until Feb when I saw that the NROTC was getting his DODMERB physical...

I read somewhere on the forums that the mids get $20/day during the summer cruises.

I'll share a bit of my experience with the application process. My son started in the summer junior year getting recs for the Naval Academy in order as well as the NROTC scholarship. By August had DODMERB done, interview with NROTC recruiter done and then the waiting game. Several of his...

NROTC If you are a senior in High School move past planning on applying for NROTC. The scholarship application process started months ago much like your college applications should have. If you want to go for the scholarship, get to the NROTC site and fill out the application and get...

I think the Navy boards run every two weeks. It's a long waiting game. Last year my son had 4 college acceptances by November, rearranged his list for the scholarship twice, finally heard Feb 13. He had his application and interview done by the end of August by the way. So good luck speak...

We just got home from picking up my son from his unit's 5 day orientation. He did not stop talking about it from the minute we picked him up. It was not the most difficult week of PT, but he did mention how a bit of the students did show up not quite ready for the activity level that they were...

I read somewhere the rate is 20/day. So that's another 600 in your pocket for the year.

drexel university gives free room and 25 percent discount on board to ROTC scholarship recipients.

My son's interest was in an English major when the process started as well. We played the odds, went with a general science major since he could always take the extra English courses and nearly double major if not double major. He likes science and does well in it and it markedly improves the...

First, good luck with the whole process. The best advice I can give right now is to apply early. Schools with rolling admission policies may look more favorably early on in the process than later after the typical Feb/Mar deadlines for applications. These are not early decision programs that...

The scholarship will open in the spring of your junior year, around the same time you will start your USNA app. Once you send in the app you will have recs to get, test scores sat act to send and transcripts as well. If you get a candidate number for the Academy you will set up your DODMERB...

The way it was explained to my son during his process was if your package was exemplary you could be offered a scholarship without going through the review board process. Essentially like the Academy's LOA. It sounds to me like you are in a very good position, congratulations.
