    Reapplying with a 2.5

    Excellent advice everyone, thank you! She's definitely shooting for an NROTC scholarship and is quite content at TAMU if that's what the future holds. Kinda nice that she's only 1.45 hours away from home right now, also [emoji854] But she's been determined to make a 2nd run at USNA and see where...

    Reapplying with a 2.5

    She does indeed have a Congressional nomination, so that was my thought...that she finish it up and see where the dice land! [emoji4] I like the idea of adding a "personal statement" - is that something she would compose and send to her USNA admissions advisor?

    Reapplying with a 2.5

    Reapplicant question...."DOA" with a 2.5 from Texas A&M Engineering/Corps of Cadets for the fall semester? Or should she still send the transcript and complete her USNA application? Worth the trouble? For what it's worth, she didn't play around....she absolutely busted her tail.

    Reapplying from Senior Military College

    Anyone experienced with reapplying to USNA (et al) from Texas A&M, The Citadel, etc? My DD is in the Corps at Texas A&M and is working on reapplying, but there are factors that are giving her pause....her unit buddies that she is bonding with (of course) and the starting over from fish (or Knob...

    From Texas A&M '21 to USNA 2023

    I don't think it's too late to join the Corps of Cadets/NROTC at TAMU as a sophomore. Would be a good move I think.

    Still hope?

    Very possible indeed! After ice cream last night to cover some sadness, we looked ay NSC dates, Corps outfits with NROTC, etc. She did an overnight with the Corps last year (JCAP weekend; stayed with the P-2 outfit) and really enjoyed herself, so all will be well I think!

    Still hope?

    Definitely seems like today was the wrong kind of wave :( Sad DD in TX for us, as well. I turn 50 next week myself, so totally agree about looking back! Best wishes to your DD and her excellent options. Still holding out hope for the NROTC scholarship, that sure would make the path a little...

    Still hope?

    Thank you for the kind words. She's a pretty sad young lady today, but (of course) has a tremendous head on her shoulders and determined plans for the future. Definitely agree that we hope NROTC comes through!! $$ needed! :) (twins headed off to school at the same time, yikes!!)

    Denied NROTC Scholarship

    Not 100% sure but I believe it is indeed a different application. Did you receive an email or a physical letter/TWE?

    NROTC Scholarships

    My DD's NROTC portal still shows "no decision has been made on your application". Maybe means she's still in the running for a scholarship?

    The wait......the wait....ugh.....I wouldn't mind the getting-picked-last-for-dodgeball analogy if I knew DD would still end up getting picked! [emoji572][emoji4] Will continue to wait on pins and needles! And yes, Plans B-E are in place (albeit with different financial outcomes that Plan A...
