Boarded/Under Consideration

Son also went to Boarded/Under consideration. Still don't understand if there are some still board ready, how they could be ranked and determined to be moved to third board? Anyone hear from their ROO yet on the meaning?
 
I finished my application for the second board

Still don't understand

I was a little agitated last night having DS refresh every microsecond to see if he could get through. But here's a comforting guess: Possibly this is an IT snafu, and the "Under Consideration... was not selected" status was intended only for applicants who didn't win on the first Board but was given by a data loading mistake to some applicants (e.g. you) who only applied after the first Board but not all such applicants (e.g., my DS who remains Board Ready). So, I'm guessing it's just IT stuff and you're still in the running for this Board. I work in software development and I know there are data loading errors sometimes. The fact that the service was down for a while corroborates that it was messy last night.

I think you are onto something here, a person in the rotc department at a university I applied to, said they don't expect results until mid-february.
 
Early in the evening last night I searched the Web for "Army ROTC 2nd board results 2018" and found a page at Cal Poly ROTC which said that the results had been released. The page had no date on it at all and couldn't be reached from the site's main page, but I decided to believe that everything had been decided by the 2nd Board and that DS would find out whether he won if he just kept clicking on refresh. At about 9 pm EST I told myself that the Cal Poly page I'd seen probably dated to the Stone Age and that I should just take a powder and forget about it.

Hey guys, I spoke to my brother who won the 4 year scholarship last year on the first board and have news to relieve you all (and myself). Apparently the applications will naturally turn to Boarded/Under Consideration upon review. When the board adjourns, the application status may turn to either selected or not selected within a day or so. Phew!

Thats good to hear, thanks.
 
Just checked my status again, I have been moved from board ready to boarded/under consideration. Kind of worried.

I just think that it has been reviewed, Im not sure they have decided who to select yet. Check the previous post on this thread.
 
I’m worried for my daughter because the boarded/under consideration wording is pretty clear saying “not selected”. I didn’t know they’d make the decisions so soon.
 
I think the question is, does this pertain to the first board results or the second board?

Maybe this is the way it has always worked, only the difference now is that the IT has now been set up to send emails when this happens, resulting in people checking the site and getting worried and confused. Just a guess.
 
1) I was so confident I was a competitive applicant, and 2) How could they have already finished deciding winners if the board hasn't adjourned yet??

I don't mean to be rude but your #1 doesn't matter. Every applicant thinks they are competitive, and most are. The competition is tough.

They may or may not have finished deciding the winners yet. It's possible you just haven't been selected yet, or it's possible that it was clear you wouldn't meet the bar for this board even if they have others to review. No one here knows so all you can do is wait.

Patience is the order of the day. You may be waiting until March or April to hear a positive or negative reply. Go have fun and work out, as I would think everything possible for plan B, C, D etc. has already been done.

Good luck!
 
When I won the 4 Year in October there was a technical error. Maybe this is the same case here, I wouldn’t be worried about it.
 
Winners won't be notified until 2-4 weeks from nowa and that's when the status on the portal will update. Occasionally there has been an IT glitch where a red box appears on the status the week of the board. It doesn't always correctly indicate the person's status.
 
Mine went from "Boarded" to "Boarded/Under Consideration". I didn't meet the deadline for the first board so I doubt it has anything to do with when you submitted it. It seems strange that they made the decision to quickly though. Does it usually happen this fast?
 
My DD says re boarded since after the first board? Is this different than what is being written on others? nothing ever changes in my DD screen.
