    Start checking NROTC portal!!

    Checked the NROTC portal just now... DS did not get the scholarship. We had assumed that no news by now was probably not a good sign, so I went ahead and sent in his deposit last week to Jacksonville University, which was his first NROTC choice. He has an excellent academic scholarship there and...

    Jacksonville University NROTC unit info?

    JU is DS's first choice on his list for NROTC schools. Still waiting to hear about the scholarship, but he has a good academic scholarship there already so the plan is to go as a college programmer if he doesn't get the NROTC scholarship this year. I went ahead and sent his deposit this week. If...

    NROTC scholarship notification

    Justine, we haven't heard yet either. Very anxious at this point to hear something. Should be any day now but this having us wait longer than any other admissions or scholarships (that DS has applied for, anyway) really is kind of lousy. Decisions have to be made and I hate leaving everything up...

    Havent heard yet

    DS got the TWE today as well. Still holding out hopes he'll be selected from the USCGA waitlist, and we still haven't gotten a decision from NROTC scholarship yet. So we're still up in the air.

    Start checking NROTC portal!!

    Still says No Decision for us tonight as well... same as it has for a couple months. Stress levels just keep going up at our house.

    Wait Listed for Class of 2017

    DS was waitlisted in December. Unfortunately it will likely not be until after May 1 (the final date that those already offered slots have to accept their appointment) before we can start to hope to hear if he'll be selected from the waitlist. We'll have to make a deposit somewhere else by May 1...

    Start checking NROTC portal!!

    I've got to think we should be hearing any time now... but DS's portal has said everything has been processed for a couple of months and has consistently just said "no decision has been made." I'm trying to take solace in the "no news is at least no bad news" idea, but I'm so anxious to hear...

    Advice on what to do?

    I'll leave advice on what you might want to do this year for others more knowledgeable to give. But if you DO decide to transfer to UF for NROTC, have you also considered some of the other Florida schools that offer it? DS was accepted to three other Florida schools with NROTC units...

    NROTC scholarship notification

    This university waives room & board for ROTC scholarship recipients, which would lop $10k/year from school costs, so we really want that scholarship. He's wanted to be a career officer since elementary school, so I don't think he'll be leaving the service anytime soon, but it is good to have a...

    NROTC scholarship notification

    No news here yet either; it's looked the same since early December. Still hoping, but DS was fortunate to get a full-tuition academic scholarship at his number one NROTC school choice, so he has contacted the unit at that campus to let them know if he doesn't get the NROTC scholarship (or...

    Decision Made

    Congrats! It must be soooo nice to have the decision made and start on the next steps. DS is on waiting list for USCGA, and waiting to hear from USNA and NROTC (accepted to three of the universities, but the other two wait until late March to start notifying about admissions), so we're all...

    NROTC scholarships

    DS is still waiting here (Florida) as well, both on NROTC and USNA. Nothing to do but wait and work on plans C, D, and E just in case. We're all anxious to see something, and he would like some idea where he'll be moving this summer. He's wanted to serve as an officer since elementary school, so...

    DoDMERB NROTC Possible Misunderstanding

    I can't speak to the other items, but DS had to re-take the urine test because of proteins. In young men especially, proteins in the urine are common with both dehydration and with physical exercise shortly before the sample is given. Unfortunately we just didn't think about it and he had spent...

    Just curious, but reapplying?

    I'm not sure why you would think you can get a scholarship with NROTC if you don't think you qualify for USNA. NROTC is pretty stiff competition as well. If you pop over to the ROTC board, you'll see that a number of people who were turned down for ROTC scholarships did receive appointments at...

    NROTC--What could this mean?

    Yes, DS's page has looked like that for far too many weeks now. We were pretty excited when we saw it change originally, now just stressed and hoping we find out soon. USCGA wait list from EA1, USNA nomination & DoDMERB qualified but still waiting to hear on an appointment, and still waiting...

    No information about remedial?

    Oh wow, there definitely must be an issue then. We'll send off an email both to DoDMERB and his BGO, see if we can figure out the problem. Thanks!

    No information about remedial?

    DS has no medical problems (after some surgeries as a toddler), so we were surprised to see on Dec 3 his DoDMERB status showed remedial requested. We waited for information about it for a few weeks, but we've received nothing from anyone. I thought they were supposed to get a letter to us. DS...

    TWE

    DS got a wait list as well. He's got a very strong resume, but as he reminded me this morning, so will have almost everyone applying early action. He has a nomination for USNA, and has already been accepted early action to two of the schools on his NROTC list, but USCGA has been his first...
