All's well that ends well. DS did not receive the AROTC scholarship. So, after lengthy discussion with the local recruiters, he went to MEPS and took the ASVAB and the DLAB. And today he enlisted in the Army: MOS 35P, five-year term. He is happy and looking forward to this adventure. At 17...

Maybe tomorrow's the day, or maybe two weeks from now. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Ha! Lemme tell you, I'm not there yet!

I wonder whether the 2nd board results were released very soon after the board dates because of the board's having been delayed by one week - as a way of catching up, in other words. If so, then getting results this Tuesday would be unlikely and we'd be looking at early April results, instead...

So, for 3rd board maybe Tuesday March 27th will be the day. It's the Tuesday after, just like Feb 6 was.

I see that thread now, bakediddy. https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/arotc-2nd-scholarship-board.59328/ But wasn't the board postponed to the week of Jan 29, making Feb 6 results only a few days after the board finished up?

Argh.

Would Friday, 23rd March, be a good guess as to when results will come out? It seems results came out quickly after the 2nd board. Thanks in advance.

Exactly what I had in mind. You just said it better than I did.

Indeed. One option is to serve your country for a few years, destroying your business, and afterwards build that business, or another, up from scratch. I gather that it's normal for people who are talented in business to go broke a time or two. Because of their talent, a couple years later...

Yes, don't demand. What I have in mind is showing up well-dressed and asking politely for an last-minute appointment on the following day. But be ready for the PMS to say, "How about now?"

What Jeepman said. That's what I'd tell my kid. And if no one's there, drive to the next nearest ROTC campus. And then the next. Repeat the day after tomorrow until you get an interview. Be prepared to do the interview on the spot. Back at high school the next day, take the unexcused absence...

It might be worthwhile to spend several hours on the Web, visiting individual professor's Web pages, and looking at what the professors in the department of the cadet's major teach and research, as well as other professors whose classes the cadet will be required to take (for instance the...

I see this post and this one on applicants/winners per board and overall. Applicants who weren't winners on the 2nd Board this year might be wondering approximately how many candidates were on the 2nd Board, how many winners there were on it, how many candidates will be on the 3rd Board, and how...

A little levity: My DS is only a mediocre applicant (no offense, Son!) and he's still "board ready," so the weird "not selected" status any top-shelf candidate is seeing today is probably just IT noise.

Maybe this is the way it has always worked, only the difference now is that the IT has now been set up to send emails when this happens, resulting in people checking the site and getting worried and confused. Just a guess.

Early in the evening last night I searched the Web for "Army ROTC 2nd board results 2018" and found a page at Cal Poly ROTC which said that the results had been released. The page had no date on it at all and couldn't be reached from the site's main page, but I decided to believe that everything...

I was a little agitated last night having DS refresh every microsecond to see if he could get through. But here's a comforting guess: Possibly this is an IT snafu, and the "Under Consideration... was not selected" status was intended only for applicants who didn't win on the first Board but was...

DS got through this morning. He remains Board Ready. He says there are new statuses posted on the main page.

My DS got the profile-update email today and has been unable to get through to his portal for the last two hours.
