Anyone heard any good (or bad) news yet this week?
Status still showing "No decision has been made yet..."
My son received the NROTC ISR scholarship too which does let you choose your school. Very few are given! Ultimately my son chose to accept his appointment to USNA and is now a plebe but it is a real thing. Congrats!!!My recruiter and the email I got told me that I could choose whatever college I wanted to go to, and the scholarship would be given to me for that school.
Instead of logging into your portal, on the http://www.nrotc.navy.mil/ page, just press "check status of application". Thats what ive been doing for awhileLooked on DS's NROTC application to see if any updates but the application is no longer there only application to apply for 2017 so guess have to standby for phone calls/snail mails for those still waiting. Glad DS decided to choose a school that only has AROTC so he is fine with not getting it.
Firehawk, mine says the same thing when i log in, but a little further in and they give more detail. Here is what my portal says:Can anyone explain to me what an application status of "Scholarship Selection/Placement System" on the NROTC application status site actually means? My DS has had this status since mid Feb. Does this mean he has been granted a scholarship but they are figuring out where to assign him or does it simply mean his application is completed but has not yet been in front of the board for a decision? Any insight would be appreciated. Why would it take so long to get the application in front of a board for a decision?

There is no additional information on the status portal other than the status I eluded to. Nothing below his SSN and DOB information. Only links back to the application (which in no longer available) and the "home" page. I take it this does not bode well for being granted a scholarship. May 1 is not far away, so we will know soon regardless. Thanks for the info.If your portal bears the same full message as that of JakeReitz, your application is still being considered. It may be looked at by quite a number of boards before either selection or rejection. With a board having just wrapped up this past Friday, you may hear something as soon as this coming Wednesday-Friday. If not, you'll know just before 1 MAY.
THANKS that worked. Weird the recruitment guy had no idea about thatInstead of logging into your portal, on the http://www.nrotc.navy.mil/ page, just press "check status of application". Thats what ive been doing for awhile

Has anyone received a decision this week?
Wow that's crazy that he didn't get it. Maybe something with the interviewMy son found out today he was rejected for the NROTC Marine option.
His quals:
3.80+/4.0 gpa at a very good high school
34 ACT
Accepted to engineering programs at Purdue, VTech, Wisconsin and Iowa State
Multiple letter winner in football and track
3 years student gov
2 years United Way county wide student board
Honor society
Full AP class schedule including calc and physics
Orchestra
Maxxed out on pull ups and situps, 12 minute on the run for the PT
Worked out with the local office as schedule allowed - usually 2 x week
Applied in October
So I guess it's onto the 3 year process. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Apologize for incorrect term usage as I'm a newbie here.
I wonder if he was Navy if he would have made it since MO it has always been a lot less winners than any others so as the numbers for 3yr increase and 4yr decrease drastically in all branches if it is not REALLY seen in this already smaller pool.My son found out today he was rejected for the NROTC Marine option..
That run time doesn't seem correct for the three mile run. Is that a typo? If it's not then he has to be the fastest man on earth.Maxxed out on pull ups and situps, 12 minute on the run for the PT
