Dang im nervous. Is the 1st board the only opportunity for a 4 year?
My status is also B/UC still and I’m lowkey stressing out I know I shouldn’t be but I can’t help it.Had a chat with my prospective college PMS earlier today and he said notifications of winners should be going out soon, my status is still at UC/boarded though.
Same here, I feel youMy status is also B/UC still and I’m lowkey stressing out I know I shouldn’t be but I can’t help it.
From what I found there’s the possibility for the second board but it’s slim. Most, if not all 4 years are received on the first board.Dang im nervous. Is the 1st board the only opportunity for a 4 year?
I’m pretty sure every scholarship awarded in the first board in a 4-year. The second board awards 4-year scholarships also. I’m not sure how it will change with the extended deadline though.From what I found there’s the possibility for the second board but it’s slim.

Good to know!I’m pretty sure every scholarship awarded in the first board in a 4-year. The second board awards 4-year scholarships also. I’m not sure how it will change with the extended deadline though.
Did this PMS reach out to you or you to him/her?Had a chat with my prospective college PMS earlier today and he said notifications of winners should be going out soon, my status is still at UC/boarded though.
Not exactly. The first board awards ONLY 4 year scholarships. 2nd board is a mix of 4 and 3 year, and the 3rd board is kinda just the leftovers.Dang im nervous. Is the 1st board the only opportunity for a 4 year?
Nah, I wouldn't push your luck. Trust me, we're ALL anxious. Especially those of us (myself included) still under consideration.Would it be wrong of me to contact my top ROTC schools tomorrow and ask about the board? I'm really anxious and just want to know if I got 1st board (I'm still B/UC)
Kinnem are these huge drop out numbers scholarship students? My son is very serious about NROTC MO and serving as a Marine Officer. Maybe my son will win a scholarship or get in our state’s elite school with NROTC MO. When talking with a MO cadet it didn’t seem that hard to earn a MO scholarship once in ROTC?+1 to GoCubbies. Attrition rates in ROTC programs can be very high. DS' NROTC unit started with 45 freshman but only 15 commissioned. There are all kinds of reasons kids drop out or are forced out. My favorite is the midshipman who took a swing at a Sgt at USMC OCS. How did he think that would work out for him?
My older son went through the process 2 years ago. He missed the first board, was boarded for the second and won a 3 year in the last board. Remember that there are still kids who win 4 year scholarships that are waiting to hear from the Service Academies or other ROTC branches, which some don't find out until as late as May. Those that choose the service academies will then decline their 4 year ROTC and those that won 3 year scholarships starting at the top of the OML will then be converted to 4 year scholarships. My son wound up choosing USMAPS and declined his 3 year ROTC which I assume was then awarded to someone else.Not exactly.

But a good friend of mine DID receive a 4 year scholarship on the 3rd board
Yes, if you are boarded for the 1st round, you did not receive a scholarship this round. You will be looked at again at the next round.I am still at B/UC. I must admit I am confused. It would seem that once at UC you would then go to winner or not awarded. If it goes back to Boarded does that mean you've been placed on the OML for the next board? Does it mean that you weren't awarded at this board?
