Can an incoming freshman who's headed for ROTC in the fall do Project Go the summer before his freshman year?
My DS is a high school senior. He got accepted by a college two days ago (George Mason). His Chinese is just a little shy of 3rd-year college level. He'd like to go with the ROTC to Beijing or Taiwan for a summer program. He tried to apply for Project Go, and the site asked whether he was matriculated. He said "no," so the site wouldn't let proceed any further. But I'm reading online at a couple of university ROTC site (for example Indiana U) that it's possible for incoming freshman to do Project Go, at least domestic programs.
I always thought matriculation occurs about a week or so before school starts when the student registers with the college for the first time. That's why DS said "no". Maybe if he just accepts the university's admission offer, then that means he's "matriculated" and can say "yes" and go ahead and apply?
Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks much.
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but he's boarded for AROTC scholarship. (I think "boarded" is the right term, meaning application done, PMS interview done, mile/curl up/pushup test done, now just waiting for the thumbs up or down in early February.)
