I should be clear... the school has NROTC, he has not applied or interviewed. Just an option hopefully down the road

We are in CT.

He was just accepted to a great school with NROTC, so there is yet another option! I think he is still digesting it all. Thanks everyone for your comments and support. This is such a unique road we are traveling on

He did not apply to any ROTC program at all.

So the dust is still settling after DS TWE to USNA. The school he will likely be attending has offered a decent merit scholarship, but has no NROTC program, only AROTC. If his goal is still to apply to USNA would the AROTC make a difference? I guess my question really is ... Is it better to...

Hang in there guys! If you haven't gotten the dreaded email, you are still in the game! Best of luck to you all!!!

No ROTC, he was set on USNA as far as military. Has talked about NROTC as a possibility, but did not apply for next year. He has been accepted (with scholarship) at 2 good universities, but had to apply regular decision at his other top choices since he couldn't do early decision while...

Thanks for your comments everyone. I wanted to update, DS received official "no" via email this morning. As sad as I am for him, I have to believe that something better for him awaits. And at least now he knows.... Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Well, the day we were hoping wouldn't come, has come. DS received an email today. Not going to happen this year. I haven't spoken to him, he just texted a screenshot of it. Good luck to everyone else!

thank you! That makes me feel better. Though the wait continues!!!

Another question, and maybe I should ask this on a new thread, but I have seen it on this one too... CVW? Is that necessary? DS spent many weekends at USNA visiting family friends who were stationed there plus attended NASS, so he never did a CVW. Is that a bad thing? I am not sure he even...

My son had a conflict for NASS last summer and he called to see if he could switch weeks. No problem. I think the sooner he requests the switch the better...

Wow... just wow... I have been searching this group for weeks, but only decided to join and post yesterday. We are a proud Navy family. My father, my husband, and his father. None went to USNA, but we spent some time there. My DS never really thought much about it (or he never talked to us...

Thank you! Is it typical that they receive the appointments a month or more apart in the same district? They do not go to the same high school but I think the other boy received his about a month ago... I am assuming/hoping he made it through the first "round" and that my DS is still being...

thanks for the quick response. He would happily accept a PG year anywhere! We were just wondering if since another boy in our district received/accepted an appointment (non blue chip) if it was over. He has already been accepted at other schools (with scholarship $$), so plan B is in tact...

I am wondering if my DS is "still in the running". He received 2 nominations (senatorial and congressional) and everything was looking good. Then we saw that another boy in our district accepted an appointment (same noms), but haven't heard anything. DD is definitely still considering other...
