    School does not rank students.

    My DD's school does not rank either. However, she spoke with her guidance counselor and they calculated and submitted her rank for this unique situation.

    CORTRAMID EAST

    My DD is there as well...I am sure they will have a lot to talk about when they return!

    From Waitlist to this??

    Congratulations on the Foundation offer. Some young people (and their families on this very forum) saw stats like these (plus some) and received TWE's...so I stand on the side of celebrating that they were showing your son that they would like him to join them next year.

    I need an honest "what are my odds" thread

    I am going to echo the sentiments of many of the posters that have responded already. You know what areas you need to address and given the drive and desire, you will certainly make marked improvements in those areas that will serve you well. Be mindful of how you word your accomplishments...

    What constitutes a “reach” school?

    I didn't see it mentioned here, but your selection of major also impacts the admission stats. For example, if your DS or DD wishes to major in Computer Engineering, acceptance rate at a school may be 3% for that particular major as opposed to an overall acceptance of 6%. Just to be mindful...

    Awaiting waiver, what happens if...

    Congratulations to your son! My DD was a NROTC 4 year scholarship winner and was also awaiting a waiver decision from DoDMERB. In her case, she did not receive the waiver approval until December during her Freshman year. It was our understanding going in that we would be responsible for the...

    Peanut Allergy DQ?!

    My DD also had a peanut allergy that required carrying of an epipen and received a DQ from DoDMERB. I am not a doctor, but based upon our experience with the waiver process and the doctors' help we enlisted, I can tell you that there are more advancements in allergy science to determine...

    Food Allergy DQ

    Again...I will agree with AROTC-dad :) No scholarship funds are dispersed until DoDMERB is passed; in this case, until the waiver is received. My DD was not the only member of her unit that was awaiting a response on a waiver. Inevitably, some are not granted. Be prepared to cover the...

    Not Reporting EpiPen DODMERB vs MEPS

    I would recommend you contact DoDMERB consultants as my DD had the same issue and was initially DQ'd by DoDMERB. She too had never used her Epipen but it was listed as a prescription on her medical records. Eventually she did see an allergist that was a graduate of a SA and had to undergo a...

    DQ for Atopic Dermatitis

    While no one can give you the 'correct' answer, I can share our experience. My DD received a 4-yr NROTC scholarship. She too was DQ'd for atopic dermatitis. We did enlist the assistance of DoDMERB consultants as we were new to the process and our DD did not wish to jeopardize her...

    Food Allergy DQ

    Our DD received a waiver from NROTC for peanut allergy only after she had a supervised nut challenge with no reaction. The process from DQ to waiver was approximately 1 year.

    NROTC 3rd Board

    So hard to 'chill' even though they want us too :) My DD felt the same way during her process last year. She did not receive her notice regarding her NROTC scholarship until the very end of March. The wait felt like a lifetime!

    Possible medical disqualification

    Since your son is already at the Academy, I would suggest you reach out to DoDMERB consulting and get his thoughts on the process. He was a tremendous resource to us as we worked through a complicated waiver process with our DD.

    Good time to ask for nomination Class of 2023

    Your nomination sources will list the dates that their applications open for the class of 2023, so you will need to check each of their websites for that information. You can get a basic idea of the dates that the applications open and the dates they are due from looking at this year's process...

    Usma waiver denied

    A waiver request is only automatic if you are awarded an ROTC scholarship. In that case, a medical waiver will be requested (this does not mean that the waiver will be granted). The SA's are all together different as they use their discretion to request waivers if they wish. They have the...

    Will My Medical Records Prevent Me From Getting in to WP?

    I second the idea for reaching out to the DODMerb consultants. The process for navigating the DODMerb process is not as cut and dry as you may hope, specifically given your complex medical history. I am not suggesting you may not be eligible for a waiver (as none of us on this forum would...

    Waiver Timeframe?

    There are many on here that have a great deal more expertise than me, but I can speak from a parent perspective as my DD was dq'd last year. If your DS is applying to one of the SA's, they will request a waiver if they wish to strongly consider him for the class. The waiver is 100% at the...
