Should we expect that the total scholarship numbers this year will approximate last year's?

wow thats a ton of re-boards
Are these re-boards accumulative? If adding up from board one that would make it about 2900 being sat on this last board... if thats the case then not sure how optimistic i feel lol.

Can't tell. If students aren't competitive enough, we'll carry the money out to ICSP.
From what I can tell, there is a total of 1,384 reboards total. I went over and saw some overlapping names which suggests that. So you won't compete with 2,900.
Running tallies:
3,386 boarded applicants
1,676 scholarships awarded (49.5% of boarded applicants), broken down by 154-Type 1, 299-Type 2, 1223-Type 7
326 non-awards (9.6% of boarded applicants)
1,384 reboards (40.9% of boarded applicants)
Obviously don't know if it worked this way, but looking at these numbers, one might guess that for each board, the board made offers to the top 50%, non-awards to the bottom decile, and reboarded everybody else, i.e. those from the 50th percentile down to the 10th percentile. Only curiosity of this theory is that there appears to be more room (based on last year's numbers) for Type 1 and Type 2 awards, which would mean either that some existing offers get upgraded, or that some reboarded people will jump right to Type 1 and Type 2 offers.

Thank You AFROTC Admissions for the insight, very helpful. From previous threads I think it was mentioned that if you’re qualified, one has about a 70% ish chance of picking up a AFROTC scholarship of some kind? Since there appears to be only one more board remaining, any idea how many scholarships are yet to be given out?
So if my math is right, there’s 1384 people being looked at on the last board. There’s been 1676 scholarships awarded....there was 2700 last year. 1024/1384 = 74%....seems like pretty good odds. Of course my assumptions may be wayyy off. Just a wag.

Just to clarify the logic and avoid double-counting, what I should have written was:
"one might guess that for each first-time board review, the board made offers to the top 50%, non-awards to the bottom decile, and reboarded everybody else"

Yes, since interview deadlines were set prior to this board, expect the last board to only be consisted of re-boards.
In the previous years, there have been a 70-80% selection rate for applicants. I would just let the next board play out for those still waiting. Your odds are actually still pretty decent as we're currently at around a 50% selection rate, and we'll probably lift it up to at least 70% (again, nothing I can say for certain) Good luck!

DD just re-boarded. Was over standard when weighed at her interview (hadn't expected that). Now she meets weight standard. Any possibility of submitting an update weight for the application? OTW I think solid app, 1400 SAT, tons of leadership in CAP, sports. Fingers crossed...

You mention potential upgrades to already awarded scholarships.....is that a thing?
No idea, although something like it was already offered in this cycle to awardees who were admitted to certain Ivy-plus schools. So I think they can do pretty much whatever they want to get the final numbers they want.

I do not have the numbers of students who have upgraded their scholarships for a Type 1 attending the school list primarily Ivies. I will say, the number isn't expected to be high due to how many people are actually accepted for those universities.

Is there any chance that a non-tech 4 year Type 2 could be offered an upgrade outside of Ivy League schools if funds are available?

Besides the schools on those list, no. The funds will be funneled to ICSP.
