I also have a DS who was declined an AROTC national scholarship. While it did come as a bit of a surprise that the 3yr wasn't offered, we had prepared not only him but ourselves for the possibility of "Plan B" route. His intent is to serve, and there hasn't been a familial history of a single...

DS was not selected in the 3rd board either, but has also not yet been notified (email, portal or otherwise)that he was not selected. His is still listed as Boarded/UC and the description has changed...... "Boarded/Under Consideration: Applicants in this status have been reviewed by one of...

DS will continue on to BVU in the Fall as planned and join the ROTC program as a non-contracted cadet. I'm sure he will flourish in the program, and we'll just take it day-by-day. Not getting the national scholarship was nothing more than a setback. With 14,000 applicants and only 2,000...

I'm not sure who the ROO is at DS chosen school. We've spoken to a Cpt, who seems to head up the campus program, but should we be instead contacting the "parent school"? We've never spoken to anyone over there. The Cadre at his chosen school were pretty confident in his packet, but it is what...

I think it can go either way. One could argue that the one's that changed from Board/UC to Boarded will get scholarships. The other side of that argument is why would they change someone's status twice, and those folks moved "backwards" in the pipeline. So with that logic, the ones that...

I saw that for DS too...but the entire box was red....not just one of the two categories (his application was in and completed in Oct so he has been waiting through the first two boards). He seemed competitive on paper, academics weren't the strongest but leadership and athletic were. We'll...

I don't think that it will have too much of an adverse effect on your chances. The BC will want to do what's best for the battalion and if your package is competitive then it is good for the battalion even if you are not at the host school. However, these are just my thoughts, I'm not involved...

DS was the same way...top three schools were partner schools 1) Buena Vista University (Iowa State) - 2) Olivet Nazarene University (Wheaton College) and - 3) Cedarville University (Central State University). When we were on one of the school visits, the CO did say that the host school has...

My DS is applying to only small Christian schools that also offer AROTC. Olivet Nazarene has an on campus program, Cedarville University has a program, Bethel College Indiana has cross-town with Notre Dame, and Buena Vista University has a program (about 900 students on campus so a very small...

He's a 2018 HS grad, so he's still in his senior year. I highly doubt he will be selected the 1st board with his GPA, but think he has a decent shot at the 2nd board, and a good shot if it goes to 3. He's been accepted to all of the schools he's applied to, but I think he's headed off to BVU...
