Army ROTC offers

Jcleppe said:
No you will not receive a letter if you are not selected by this board.

Your status page will remain unchanged, there is no formal notification if you did not receive an offer from the board. The only notification you will receive if you do not receive a scholarship offer will come around May informing you that you were not offered, until then the status page will remain unchanged.

We got our notification mid April of last year. I would like to think they try to get notification out in April in time for the May 1 acceptance deadlines that many colleges adhere to. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking?

IF you want to kill about six hours, and have some fun, start on page 61 of this thread from last year's 3rd Board and learn more than you ever wanted to know about notification. http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=17993&highlight=2011&page=61 post #603 kicked it off, and post #622 was the first Offer sighting, and post #642 kicked off some unnecessary *****ing.

HAHAHA! Thanks for reminding me. I remember reading these posts in one window while hitting the refresh key in the other. And I was waiting on an NROTC scholarshi!. I sure didn't understand how things worked then. Not sure I know much better now though really. :biggrin:

It is nerve wracking. I sympathize with all you folks waiting to hear.
 
Any idea when they might post what type of scholarship it is and to what schools? I know some people's pages update, some people have to call over to CC, and some don't know until they get their letter, right?
 
I am really happy to see so many have great news to report back about AROTC scholarship awards:biggrin:

For those still waiting, keep the faith - March isn't really that much longer(I know, seems like forever). The path to commissioning is long and full of waiting and wondering so consider this "training":wink:.

Off to work again, but will continue to send good thoughts out for all of you.
 
I haven't seen anyone come up to say their status changed today. Any chance they're done with this round?

It does seem to be a bit quiet today in regard to offers, in fact it looks like only one person posted yesterday that their status had changed. I would think that there would be at least one more day and maybe even a chance for Monday before they are totally finished with this boards offers.

So far it looks like only 10 have posted they received an offer, that is a lot less then what was posted for the Jan. Board last year. I know according to MaristCollege the Budget for scholarships was cut back this year, almost in half, that could account for the lower number of offers we are seeing posted, of course it could be that there just aren't as many applicants participating on this forum this year.

I hope that good news is still to come for those waiting, don't get discouraged yet, there is still one more board to go. If not selected this board it might be a good time to research your Plan B and maybe even C and D just in case. Remember there are many ways to accomplish your goals of becomming an Army Officer.

Good luck to everyone.

Good luck to everyone!!! Don't freak out just yet if the numbers turn out to be low here. They might not be very illuminating for this year's total final percentage of scholarships (although there will definitely be fewer than last year). A low percentage for the January board, for example, could simply mean that Cadet Command was awaiting hard budget numbers to filter down through the ranks once the President's budget was finalized. Although the budget is scheduled for public release on Feb. 13 (delayed by one week), I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers from the March board might be actually higher than the earlier board once CC found out how much money it had available to spend (but it could go the other way, admittedly). DoD has definitely reached key decisions on the budget already and actually held a press conference today (watch CNN tonight).

Just a theory. . . . Keep the faith!!

And definitely keep pushing all Plan B's etc.!!

Jcleppe's point about the goal being becoming an Army officer is a really good one -- that goal is BY FAR the most important credential that will follow you your entire life and ultimately translate into more money and/or opportunities during the span of one's life than any fixed scholarship can ever provide (in terms of management experience, leadership experience, resume booster, etc.) Keep your eyeball on that objective.
 
Another One

My son had his on-line status change to show a scholarship offered on Tuesday. It could be Texas A&M, VA Tech, and/or Penn State.
 
Looks like all the offers may be posted. I saw something on our "weekly blast" that said letters would be sent early next week, and reminding us that we aren't allowed to reveal the results and that the letter is the official notification. Not sure how many ROOs read the "blast" and how many will adhere to the guidance. I suspect next week the word will start to go out. I plan to crank out some emails to my applicant list by next friday.

So I guess the "Fat Lady has sung" for this board.

Good luck to everyone on the next board in March.
 
just got confirmation...letters go out Monday. There were some adjustments, so until you see that letter don't spend the college fund. Believe it or not ROOs have been know to be wrong/start false rumors.
 
I think my DS's file should have been reviewed during the Jan. 9th board, but we aren't certain. He had his interview with PMS before Christmas and the PMS indicated his file should go to the January board. Is there a way we can determine that his file was reviewed at that board?
 
Quick question about the AROTC process.

When does an applicant take the interview? Is it after you've been selected for a scholarship? Because I had a friend who received one and it wasnt final until the officer who conducted the interview said that he would receive the scholarship.

Any ROO should be able to check if they have your name and social. You can also contact the processor who is handling your file.

You have to conduct your interview before your file is seen by the board. You won't get a scholarship without the interview. I think your friend is either a little confused or he went through the process a few years ago.
 
And there was much confusion

On my application status it says that I've been selected for an interview (even though that's the first thing I did.)

So I emailed my contact and she said my file was ready for the board. But I haven't gotten any results yet. When's the latest I that one would get results for the Jan board? The anxiety is killing.

How would I even know if my status has changed?

Your status page will remain unchanged if you have not received a scholarship offer from the Jan. Board. From what Clarkson posted previously, all the offers have been made for the Jan. Board. I your status has not changed then you did not receive an offer from the Jan. Board and your file will be rolled over to the final march Board. You status will not change and you will not receive any notification that you were not selected on the Jan. Board.

Hang in there, there is one more board. Now might be a good time to explore any plan B or even C & D just in case you do not receive an offer from the March Board.

Good Luck
 
EchoMike,

I forgot to say that if you are offered a scholarship your status page will change to say "To have been selected for an AROTC Scholarship......." Just remember that until then it will not change from what you see now.

Just checking,
Does your status page list the different requirements and state received next to each. Don't worry about the medical, that won't change until you have gone through Dodmerb.
