I know its only been about a week since the October board met but I was wondering how quick they usually send out their letters of acceptance and denials?

I don't think they send letters of denial until late April -- at least that is what I recall reading here. They seem to roll everyone over to the next Board and leave the door open until after the last Board has met (which I believe is early March).Asticks said:how quick they usually send out their letters of acceptance and denials?

Yes, most definitely. Once a scholarship has been Awarded at the Board, the next step at CC is to decide: Scholarship to Where? I am certain there is a dialogue at that point (after award) with the Battalions listed on your application to create the best match, starting with your #1 choice and then working down, and also taking into consideration In-State Public vs. Private vs. Out of STate Public costs.would meeting with the head of the ROTC department of my top school help in my possibly awarding of a scholarship to that school?

DD was awarded a 3 yr. AD to a Private, and a 4 Yr. to an in-state Public, her choice. She had done her PMS interview with the Public (#4 on her list of 5), and corresponded via email and by phone with her Private choices #1 and #2 so that she could decide how to re-rank order her college choices on her application (via email with CC) a week prior to the 3rd Board sitting. Her eventual 3 Yr. AD award out of that Board was to choice #1. I am certain her dialogue with that PMS two months prior played a role.
Yes, most definitely.
hi, where was this post if you rememberFrom what someone just posted this evening the results from the first board may released starting now.
Yes, agree with this. And the PMS him/herself will likely tell you straight up if he/she has any pull with Admissions. The PMS at the In-State Public (Top 30 ranked) my DD interviewed with was quite specific about whom he had a good relationship with in Admissions, and how much that might favorably affect on-the-bubble admissions candidates.PIMA said:Now if you are asking if it [speaking with the PMS]may help you get admitted, the answer is MAYBE
We do agree. I don't think speaking with a PMS will affect *whether* the Board awards a scholarship, but rather, once a scholarship has been awarded by the Board, the *assignment* of that scholarship to one or more of the seven schools listed on the application could most definitely be influenced by the relationship with the PMS at choice #1.I 1000% agree showing interest is important, but the way I read the post was is this a "hook" for a scholarship? No is my answer.
I think we both agree, it is just we interpreted the key words of the post differently.

But I have another question, would meeting with the head of the ROTC department of my top school help in my possibly awarding of a scholarship to that school? Or is that not his or her area of influence?

jcleppe said:Actually, the only control a PMS and Battalion have over whether a scholarship awardee is selected for their school is during the application process when the PMS checks the box saying they would accept that applicant to their program.
One thing I love about the AFROTC process, as a parent and a candidate the process is simpler. Get the scholarship, get accepted to any school that accepts it, you are good to go. There is no additional worry that you get the scholarship to the school, but the school does not admit you, and now you are stuck with trying to transfer it to a school that has already awarded their scholarships.
