AROTC 3rd Board

Do you recall if it was locked after the red banner said all tabs would lock or is this new since the board concluded? I wish I would have checked/realized to check the difference.

I remember the red banner saying it would lock on a specific day, once that day hit it was locked.
 
Are any 4 year scholarships awarded at the 3rd board to applicants who haven’t already gotten a 3 year? My DS applied in time for the 2nd board and didn’t receive anything. Trying to manage expectations.
 
I sure hope so
Mine applied well before first and nothing yet
This is her last chance .. praying for something

I obviously can't say for sure, but this is my understanding of how the process works. Once they are boarded they get a score and that puts them on the order of merit list ranked by score. There are applicants from the 2nd board who received 3 year and applicants from the 2nd board who received nothing (as well as applicants who received 4 years). If their position on the list didn't put them high enough to receive a scholarship on the 2nd board at all, it seems unlikely that they would receive a 4 year on the 3rd board. There will be 1,000 total 4 year scholarship (per a prior post) and roughly 200 were awarded in the 1st board. The board will have ranked all the new applicants and added them to the OML. Those in the top 1,000 will be awarded/upgraded to 4 year and then the rest get 3 year until they run out. Good luck to your son! The wait is hard, but I'm guessing he should hear by mid-next week.

Hopefully that's not the case because I'm hoping for a 4 year but I;ll be happy with anything I;ll get! Good Luck to all of you!

Honestly, that's just speculation. Fingers crossed for you and others still waiting. My son got a 3 year on the 2nd board so there was a lot of relief there, but he would have still elected to go to the SMC that he chose and hope to get a campus-based scholarship. So even still, if it doesn't go your way on the 3rd board I don't believe it's the end of the road for you if you're willing to keep at it. Good luck!
