We met with a NROTC unit yesterday on a campus visit yesterday and the recruiting officer indicated the first board selected no more than 40 scholarship winners.
If my portal does not indicate that I have been selected for a scholarship, does that mean that I did not make it during the first board? Or possibly more notifications on first board will come later?
We're in the same boat.
During my interview I was told I was the best applicant he'd spoken with, so it kind of stings to see I may not have made it at the first board.

DS's portal went from the full page of information to nothing other than his social and birthdate. Not sure if I should be worried or not. LOL
Congrats to your son grevar. Nice to get first choice school and to have this in his pocket. He's one outstanding kid!
PS. I don't envy him the decisions he has to make. I don't think I could handle the stress of it all. Keep him in bubble wrap.
What exactly is an ISR and ASR(i believe they said asr?)? I just recently began to hear of this and asked my current NSI for Njrotc, he told me that our previous SNSI who abruptly left over the summer had apparently been able to get applicnts from our unit these each of his years here, is there a way i can try to get our current (who is actually the SNSI from before our last one) to do the same? Or is it too late or what? Just confused by all this.
I'm surprised that there hasn't been news on additional boards yet. I would have thought we'd have heard results from a 2nd board by now. I wonder if they are doing fewer boards this year due to the budget cuts?
The first AROTC board, if it occurred on time, didn't happen until late October. The second board isn't even scheduled until early January. Schedule is here: http://goldenknightbattalion.wordpress.com/category/the-scholarship-process/
NROTC usually takes about a month to release the results of a board so I think it's still a little early to hear from a second board, which was probably delayed anyway due to the shutdown.
My sons NROTC recruiter said the boards did meet in October but notifications have been delayed because of the government shutdown and he is hoping they will start coming out in the next two weeks.
He also said there are 12 boards scheduled, 2 are scheduled for November.
And that's for NROTC Navy Option. NROTC Marine option only has 2 boards. 1 in Nov and one in Feb. I only mention this because I'm guessing someone whose screen name is USMAROTC... might be applying for Marine option.
It's just a name created based upon my DH's and my sources of commissioning; He went to USMA and I went through ROTC. DD was originally going to apply to USMA, USNA, as well as AROTC and NROTC, but in the end, has only decided to go for the ROTC options.
Today I received a call and was informed that Pensacola wanted me to interview again within the next 2 days.
My first interviewer said I did extremely well(back in August) and he thought I had a good shot at a scholarship, so why are they asking for another interview? Is the board on the fence about my application?
Has anyone else been requested for a second interview?
