Yes, my coordinator forwarded that email to me and I forwarded the same email to my guidance counselor. She signed both my HS transcript and her LOR. Is it a good sign that they didn't reject my application and instead needed additional info? Also, is the NROTC board meeting this week? Thank you.

Hello, I missed last years December board by a couple days unfortunately. I received a broken looking email last week that I was missing some info. Does this mean that I wont be looked at during this January selection board? I've had the same status on my netfocus portal the entire time since...

@hopjop I have been awarded a scholarship that provides guaranteed admission with full tuition paid to Notre Dame (not NROTC scholarship). What are your stats - ACT, GPA, Unique Qualities - that you think helped you earn the NROTC scholarship?

I have done more research on the NROTC program and submitted my application last night. As of now, my biggest concern is maintaining the academic requirements in college. I am very physically capable and believe that I can make it through the torture of the summer program. I believe that...

Okay makes sense. I really wonder what my chances are of getting this NROTC scholarship because my ACT does not match the average for Notre Dames 32-35 average ACT scores.

Thank you so much for the insight. As of now, I am finishing things up on my NROTC application to Notre Dame and trying to have all of my info submitted by the next board meeting on December 12th. After hearing peoples stories, if Notre Dame comes through with the NROTC scholarship, I will...

I have tried every phone number. This is making me think if I should just go and take another physical and eye exam. It has felt unusually long.

I took my DoDMERB eye exam and physical in early October and still haven't received any update since October 26th when my file was updated to "Incomplete-Closed". I have emailed the help desk and have done everything I can to find some updates and still know nothing. What do I do now?

I completely understand. I know I’m making it sound a lot like the money but I’m definitely questioning the career opportunities more than the money. I understand that the academies are a more immersive experience into the military while both provide equally amazing opportunities. Thank you for...

Thank you for your time. This is very reassuring and only makes my decision a million times harder 😅. I was definitely wrong about “first hired last fired.” I will be taking my applicant fitness assessments for NROTC next week and all I can do for now is hope, wait, wait, and wait…

That is part of what I’m trying to figure out. From what I understand, academy graduates are first hired and last fired 😅. What I’m worried about in ROTC is can I still serve a full 20 years? What exactly are the technical differences between the two after graduation? I’m trying to take it all...

I know a lot of coast guard academy and Naval Academy alumni that have given me the inspiration to apply to these academies, as of now I am more than committed to serve my country for as long as possible. I have completed my nomination interviews and am working on getting medically cleared. I’ve...

Okay 😅. So it maxes out at 11k a year. Notre Dames room and board is roughly 16.7k a year. If I get the scholarship, 5.7k is not much! However, would paying 6k a year at Notre Dame with an NROTC scholarship compete with going to USAFA, USNA, USCGA, or USMMA?

I’ve asked the coordinators and yes I can stack scholarships with the POSSE scholarship. I just hope I can get a NROTC scholarship and negotiate with them to cover room and board.

I’ve been looking around. Where did you find that 11k of room and board would be covered? Thank you!

The scholarship is called POSSE. 10 people are selected to go to a specific college (Notre Dame). The idea is that you are going into a new environment with a group of people you know and can get support from. POSSE’s purpose is that no college student should drop out due to feeling alone. This...

I am applying to the Naval Academy, Airforce Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy. However, I recently was awarded a scholarship that pays full tuition at Notre Dame valued at $240,000 ($60,000 a year in tuition). At this point, I have guaranteed admission to Notre Dame with...
