My son is on scholarship at the NROTC Battalion, University of Notre Dame! Go Irish! Go Navy!

How Hard Is It? My son received a Tier 1 NROTC Scholarship to Notre Dame. His stats are as follows: SAT: 2250 National Merit Finalist GPA: 4.6 weighted Top 2% of graduating class 9 AP Courses All Area Band 4 years Varsity Soccer Mu Alpha Theta Math Honors Society, NHS, Future...

I totally agree about the timing Cronusmom! I would love to be a fly on the wall and see how these boards function. Until reading these forums I had no idea the branches of service conducted things so differently. My son only applied for an NROTC scholarship, so I didn't even realize that there...

I believe that the medical issues come after the scholarship has been awarded. My son received his scholarship, then we went for the eye appointment and the physical. He had a "remedial" on his physical for which we had to visit another specialist. The process took a little less than 1 month to...

It might be interesting, or perhaps we should start a new thread, to ask about the qualifications of those who did receive a NROTC scholarship. My son is fortunate and extremely grateful to have received a scholarship, but while I thought he was a "shoe in," the acceptance took a while.

I hope Mr. Mullen will appreciate this kudo, we have emailed back and forth many times, it is an example of the expeditious manner in which DoDMERB functions! Here is our super speedy timeline from start to finish of physical: 3 Feb: Son has eye exam 5 Feb: DoDMETS/Concorde website updated...

I hope I don't rain on anyone's parade here, but I have the following anecdotal information to relate: my son finished his whole package right around the first week of November. We tried to be "early" but what with the officer interview and his math teacher's rec not being all that timely we...

Son received NROTC scholarship to Notre Dame He has been accepted into Notre Dame, Engineering. He is interested in Chemical and Bio-molecular. Just passed DoDMERB physical after remedial for "enlarged uvula." Thank God (I mean it) for Larry Mullen and his staff! If you're not familiar with...

TrueCadet, I feel your frustration and anger but please try to see a bigger picture. I was an Army ROTC scholarship recipient, and believe me when I tell you there was no more gung-ho cadet than I. My scholarship (note the root of the word "scholar") was based on my performance in school, not...

I concur 100%. Kudos in particular to my contacts with Mr. Larry Mullen and Mr. Matt Bertrand. Matt called me out of the blue today just to check up and make sure I understood the process and that everything was moving along. Wow! Their kindness, service and concern are totally above and beyond...

Wow! Sorry Subdude, truly. I am guessing by your username that you were (are?) a submariner. My husband too... Best regards to your daughter, after all this waiting I know it's not the message you guys wanted. I too am interested in the remark by the blue and gold officer about the skewed...

Sutter93 I am going to probably be labeled a kill joy or run off of this forum but I wold like to give you just a dose of what you're competing against out there as far as colleges go. First off, how were your PSATs? Are you National Merit Level? Aglages mentioned MIT, Stanford etc.If those are...

My son was one of those who received notification just after the board met on 12 Jan. All of his scholarship materials were finally submitted in early November, so he could not have been chosen on the October board (had to wait on the officer interview). Our first clue that something was "amiss"...

My son received Tier 1, 4 year NROTC Scholarship to University of Notre Dame He applied early admission to ND and was accepted. He is planning to be a submariner, like his dad! All of this just came together this week and I am very happy and relieved! Thanks for all of this feedback and...

Singaporemom I do hope we get to meet up in South Bend in the fall!! Did you get a letter from the NROTC unit at ND today? They have no idea at this point who has been admitted and who is still waiting to hear, of their scholarship recipients. The good news I thought in the letter was that they...

Shanagan, DoDMERB is the first place I learned that my son received his NROTC scholarship, and he did not apply to any of the service academies. The day after the board met I once again checked that site. Up until then I had been checking and receiving the same message you had. This time it...

Wow! Singaporemom you are not going to believe this (or maybe you will), my son's reflected the following status: Congratulations! You have been selected for a 4-yr Navy Option scholarship. You are assigned to the NROTC Unit at University of Notre Dame Woo hoo! I think I am more excited than...

Hi Singaporemom! First of all congratulations... and guess what? My son has the same thing on dodmerb. Just out of curiosity now I wonder if our status change a few days ago where the status went blank meant something? Hmm... there may be more to this process than any of us know. Now I am...

Singaporemom my oldest daughter is at University of Texas, then next daughter is at Notre Dame... no chance of her doing ROTC. My son applying for the NROTC scholarship just received his letter of acceptance to Notre Dame over holiday break. With 2 there the costs would be astronomical. I went...

Yes singaporemom, http://www.navyformoms.com/group/rotc/forum is the link. I didn't think this scholarship mattered to me that much but I am proving myself to be a bit of a nervous nelly. We are going to have 3 in college next year, 2 at Notre Dame, so the Navy scholarship would be wonderful...
