    AROTC 4 year scholarship averages

    My son was a 3 year winner. He scored a 29 on the ACT and 3.3U/3.5W GPA. He scored near the top on the PT test. I'm sorry I can't remember the score.

    NROTC- how do they tell you?

    My DS received a paper thin rejection letter in the mail. No call, no nothing.

    The dreaded "Hold" Status

    Wow. This thread is one of the most informative post regarding "Holds" I have read yet. The lawsuit "Domine v. Kumar, 2012" really gives some useful insight on the admissions process. I sure hope we're not one of those families waiting until mid-May to get an answer. At least, we have an ROTC...

    AROTC 3rd Board...Place to Wait

    It's a little after0 03:00 AM in the morning. My DS just discovered he was looking under the wrong tab in the portal. Each time he logged in throughout the evening and night he was met with a blank screen. There were no words like "boarded" or "winner" - just an empty screen. We had all but...

    AROTC 3rd Board...Place to Wait

    My son's portal shows no status whatsoever. It never has. Not "boarded", not anything. Is something wrong?

    The ultimate question... what are my chances?

    You have VERY similar stats and extracurricular activities as my DS except he scored a 29 on the ACT. He is currently on Hold status patiently waiting for a spot to open up. However, I would think your father being alumni would give you an edge.

    "HOLD" status letter

    Yep, we got ours last month. If you look at the USMMA's admission statistics between those that "Met Selection Criteria" and "Offered Appointments", there's a 50-60% chance of acceptance. That's not too discouraging I suppose.

    *Army* What happens to non-scholarship candidates? *Army*

    Wow. Thank you for the valuable information Jcleppe. The picture is becoming much clearer. I wish we had found this thread at the beginning of the process. My son has done exactly as you have described in your post. He listed and applied to some of the most competitive AROTC programs: Georgetown...

    *Army* What happens to non-scholarship candidates? *Army*

    Thanks for the info. It confirms some of the other posts I have read. My DS scored a 29 on the ACT, 3.3U/3.5W GPA , Team Captain wrestling (State placer), Sea Cadet leadership, perfect score on his interview, excellent APFT, and was still passed over on the second board. What else does he need...

    *Army* What happens to non-scholarship candidates? *Army*

    What happens to those candidates that don't receive a national Army ROTC scholarship? I was told your name and profile goes into a national database where potential ROTC units may want to pick you up? Am I right on this? If so, does this mean they may offer you an in-house scholarship?

    Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets

    I don't think there is anything wrong with his questions. He simply wants a certain level of quality of life when he is away from the corps. Nothing wrong with that in my book.

    Could this be the big day? I sure hope so. We're ready to get this over one way or the other.

    Holds

    My DS is currently on Hold as well. Earlier this week DoDMERB assigned the USMMA as the primary 'Agency'. I can only assume USMMA made the request because we didn't. Do you think this is a good indicator a decision will be made soon - one way or the other?
