I am sure it likely depends. My DD got all of her top schools in order. That may have been a fluke as it is not guaranteed but they do seem to be paying attention. It is also discussed in your interview. That said, her scholarship offer was awarded after 1st block review.

Definitely no band happening at NSI. They have documented the program on the NROTC main Facebook page. Loads of pics for you to peruse should you want a sense of the bullet points.

The Army ROTC scholarship can be applied to tuition or room and board. One or the other. That said, SOME schools actually offer room and board to ROTC scholarship winners so you can end up covering both categories. One such school is Drexel. It is in a consortium with UPenn, however UPenn...

I’d say you are ready to contact a unit near you to sit down and discuss the information you seek in an information gathering effort. The AROTC units are very open to meeting with interested young people. Our DD did this at A huge school a mile from our house with a huge AROTC unit. They...

Your grades and scores are terrific! Your academic scores are much higher than the averages of winning Army ROTC scholarships. Our DD got a chart last year when she went to her interview that broke the averages out. You look great and are significantly higher than averages. The interview...

You look like a wonderful candidate. Nail your essays, interview and your fitness and you have a terrific package. The lens is broad and encompassing during review. Our DD was awarded 4 year Army and 4 year Navy for 2023 - Nurse Option. Army has a really smooth process. Her Army offer came...

I am happy to chat. Sure. There is a NROTC Parents 2023 Facebook page that is a great resource for you as well. Loads of terrific families and a great support system. It’s private.

They tested block 1 at NSI. Mandatory for all. And if no meningococcal proof of vac .... candidates also got that vac there. Quite a few people tested positive for sickle cell. Those wearing red wrist bands are positive.

I do not disagree. I am well aware on each point. Candidate preparation is my key point on this one. It was missing. NROTC has been delivering prepared incredible successful officers for decades. We are sure proud of those in our families .... past and present. I know you are of your son...

Why up at arms? It’s not a secret. This is information that can help kids succeed and excel as they walk into a space to learn and grow to be future great leaders of our country. They are our future. They were given no information whatsoever and, in many cases, have no military experience or...

Correct. Fitness is VERY important. Not to be secondary. They had not done any PT or their PFT in the 1st 4 days. BUT .... they were physically exhausted. Everything is effort in. Even when standing in place you are working in this space.

I actually don’t know. My daughter brought hers home and is still beast mode studying it. I just posted a picture of the table of contents in my last post on this thread to help guide on the content captured.

Heads up for 2nd block Get your head in the game. Lock and load NSI is a full on bootcamp. It’s extremely intense mentally and physically with sleep deprivation and limited food and time to eat. Eat fast. The full monty breaks are in effect, at least week 1. The kids there had no idea...

The information that went out ahead is definitely something that might benefit from some tweaking and coordination of like information. Some units were given much more to go on than others. 2nd block will benefit from knowing more by what is filtering out. They, however, will not benefit from...

...... not a decision swing point for you but ..... my DD is headed to UMich this fall as well. She is NROTC- Nursing Corps Option. It’s the #3 nursing school in the world per some folks over at Forbes and US News. It’s also a great place graduating happy prepared for the world young leaders...
