I know of one so far, but I believe it was it was a Presidential Nom. I'm from FL-18 and still CPR. We are a pretty good pool of applicant so I hope there is 3 slots.
Are you Fl-18 as well[emoji1303]! Usna? Baseball?
I'm from FL-18 too. I didn't hear anything about a big wave yet. Hopefully soon.
Thank you for sharing! Sorry to hear of the disappointing news, but as you state, there are so many highly qualified students that it gives me great hope for the future of our service. best of luck while waiting on the others!So, this is our second year playing the waiting game. While we have been addicted to the forums, I never post anything. Today I realized that, as much as I crave hearing others' stories, someone might also be interested in ours. DS was not awarded an appointment last year, and immediately decided he would reapply, and go to a prep school as a self-prepper, where I'm proud to say he excelled. His application, test scores, CFA, extracurriculars, etc., seem to "check all the boxes." However, yesterday (3-15) he was turned down by USNA. His BGO was even surprised, thinking that DS was "a lock." He applied to all of the Academies, so our waiting game is not over, still. However, I share this tidbit of our story, because I know that at this point in the game, everyone is highly qualified, and for many (maybe even for most), it still doesn't work out. My takeaway is that we are all in great company! Whether accepted or not, we should all be proud, aim high, think big...and play the waiting game.

I applied for NROTC and was awarded one in October. I needed a color deficiency waiver that did not get approved by NROTC (was given one by USNA), so I later became ineligible for the NROTC scholarship.Curious if any who have received appointments, also applied for an NROTC scholarship (and how that went). DS received an "ineligible" letter from the NROTC board, with no explanation (he met all the requirements, incl medical and passing is PT test). His PoC said the only time that happens is when a student has been picked up for another ROTC scholarship or an academy. He did not pursue other ROTC options and we still wait for word on USNA.

Ouch! Hope Annapolis worked out. I did find out that the recruiters failed to upload his docs before the 31 Jan deadline (and yes, he had everything, including the PT test done well in advance). No recourse other than wait until next year. So, we await word from admissions and hope the NROTC screw up is a non-issue.I applied for NROTC and was awarded one in October.

I am not familiar with ROTC applications. Is there a way for the forum visitors to check and verify their status to prevent an error like this to happen to them?I did find out that the recruiters failed to upload his docs before the 31 Jan deadline (and yes, he had everything, including the PT test done well in advance).

In my DS' case, the recruiters had to upload everything and was told "don't worry about the status, you are good to go". My advice would be this: IF something doesn't look right and your local contact isn't clearing it up, then go higher. My DS tried to get the recruiters' CO, but couldn't get a return call or email. I had to go all the way to HQ to get anyone's attention.I am not familiar with ROTC applications.

If that's true, the recruiters (those involved) need to be marked down on their next performance report. That kind of unprofessional behavior is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
Because of their mistake, this young man who was fully qualified missed out on a possible scholarship.
Wow! This is not even my DS and I'm enraged. If I was his parent, I'd be in contact with the recruiter' chain of command.

It's happened several times to candidates on this forum, which is a relatively small portion of candidates. So my guess is this is a systemic problem for the NROTC program
