This is also the final week of USCGA nominations, which he's also in the running for, so it feels like we're just hanging in limbo with a whole lot of his future riding on how things play out this week.
Best of luck to you!I can't help but check my DS' portal 3+ times a day.
So, you neither declined nor accepted your offer?
Yup, "Boarded/Under consideration." I remember thinking to myself I needed to decline it but wanted to let it sink in. I hope I didnt screw myself over by not declining. That would be disappointing.
You should be good. Had you initially accepted your ECP offer, and then forgotten to decline, I think you would have been stuck with it. But since you never responded at all, they probably rescinded your ECP offer after the acceptance deadline and put you back into the applicant pool.
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate your fast replies and reliable answers, this forum has become a designated spot for me to come for info lol
Well, I appreciate the kind words, but take what I say (and most of what you see here) with at least some skepticism. I think everyone here is trying their best to be helpful, but with the exception of some "official" folks who participate such as ROOs, PMSs, academy professors, etc., most of us are just other applicants and/or parents supporting one another through the process.
My DS reached out to the contact who sent the ECP scholarship offer. His response was that you didn’t need to do anything further to decline. If you didn’t accept the ECP offer then you would automatically be considered at the next board. Good luck!
Thanks for the definitive answer, really gave me a sigh of relief
I did. It was just the typical 45-day password expiration. Just use the "reset password" link and change your password. You should be good to go.
Ah, thanks. Forgot about that. Thought it was telling me to stop checking every hour and go cold turkey.
Nah -- that's one of the joys of the process. Check away!
It always does that at the worst time!
yes I did today too....odd how many people need to reset password on same day.
I will say the login portal went down the day before they released 3rd board last year. So maybe that’s a good sign. Good luck to all of you.
