NROTC Questions

Well, it's been about 3 weeks and we haven't received official word yet! I am trying not to worry, perhaps the holiday season slowed things down a little. The waiting game is a challenge!

When your son was told he had the ISR, were you asked to sign the 'official' ISR document which is the NAVCRUIT 1100/32 (Rev. 6-2013)?

Did your son have need for any waiver? For example if he were in the top 21% of the Class rather than top 20% of the Class it would require a wavier.

What does his NROTC Portal say? Sometimes the NROTC will pull an application to re-verify certain documents that make up the application, such as Transcripts, etc.
 
Once the recruiting district ensures the paper work is correct, then it will be submitted and should blessed at the next board. His package may not have made the last Dec board, therefore the later part of Jan is when the next results will come out. His notification should arrive with those from the Jan Board. As long as he signed all his paper work, everything should be ok. Make sure he gets in to his listed schools. They try to place ISRs to their number one school. Try to relax.

Thanks. My son was also offered a ISR interview. They did not tell him whether he got it or did not get it :)
He contacted some one in the system and was told he was not rejected so far. So I guess we have to wait. Based on one of the posts on this website, the board is meeting this week [11th to 14th] and apparently the results will be out around the 22nd. At least in your case they orally told you that your son got the ISR, in my son's case it is a waiting game. That's why I asked from which state you are from. We are from NY.
Thanks and Congrats.
 
Regarding NROTC scholarship once you are granted scholarship how long is the wait to decline or accept? Say you are wait listed to SA but you accept the scholarship but then in late May or June you get in SA? Can you then turn down scholarship??? Can you keep plan B option until I-day?? Is it selfish cuz you are holding scholarship from another deserving student??? Is there penalty if you accept then decline later?? I know with colleges you just pay deposit & only penalty would be losing that deposit??

Yes, you can keep Plan B until I-Day.

Selfish? Not to me.

This is the law of unintended consequences at work more than 'selfishness'.

If the SA/ROTC systems were better coordinated/integrated in the Selection process, the allocation of slots between the two systems that produces 'the agony' of the waiting for a decision,one way or another would be less problematic .

Can you accept SA appointment and NROTC scholarship at same time then decline NROTC in July??

My son is a first year NROTC student at RPI. He absolutely loves the campus.

Got into, and visited PSU, Ohio St., Purdue, Miami University, and visited Texas A&M. Loved the size of RPI. Only a couple dozen midshipmen in each class.

CoC is the Commander of Cadets...the big cheese in charge at the detachment. They are usually an O5 or O6.
HSSP is the HS Scholarship Program (HSSP)...national board...the board he will be required to remove his name if he accepts.

I am confused now because what I know of the ISR is, it is tied directly to that specific college.
~ I.E. UVA offers him the ISR. It can only be used at UVA, accepted to VT, VMI, TAMU and Timbucktoo doesn't matter. There is no number 2-5 option, it is UVA or nothing. There is no transferring the scholarship later on if not admitted.
~~ That is why many candidates offered this option have a hard time choosing whether they accept it or roll the dice with the national. If they accept it and do not get admitted, than they are SOL because they can transfer it. If they don't accept and does not get it from the national level, but does get admitted, than they are SOL again!

It really comes down to the old cliche of how you see what is worth more...a bird in the hand or 2 in the bush!

Think this might answer some questions. It seems that you can not have gone to the board yet (which was this week ) to be able to be offered the ISR, Since Jan 31st is deadline for NROTC boards I would think any ISR slots are going to be pitched very soon. DS was sent in for NROTC in Dec because his 'handler' was going on vacation and wanted to make sure all the kids in his area were squared away.

If my son is accepted to Union and receives the NROTC scholarship there, I will definitely love to get our sons in touch. So happy to hear he has had a positive experience!

Yes, he signed the ISR official document and no he didn't need any waivers. There was some issue with the scanning of the documents so there was a delay. The portal has always worried me because it doesn't seem to ever change!
