My DD was awarded an NROTC ISR (Immediate Scholarship Reservation) and found out mid-September. Her credentials are a 4.18 GPA, Varsity sports, NHS, Girls State, Tier 1, 29 ACT, DD of a NROTC UW Madison, and active with the American Legion Aux.
Congratulations to you!! Very awesome news! My DD was also awarded the scholarship! Best of luck!

Once your DS is "Boarded" his status on the NROTC Portal will change to "No decision has been made on your application", or obviously "Congratulations You Have Been Selected for a National NROTC Scholarship". "No decision has been made on your application" is NOT a denial and is most likely an Alternate. My DS was Awarded his Scholarship as an Alternate. He was "Boarded" the first week of Jan 3-8 2022 and Awarded April 6th, 2022. "Additional Processing" is just what it means, and is most likely one of 2 reasons. 1) Waiting on Teacher/Counselor Recs to come in via the portal or 2) Waiting on Interview grades to come in from the University Detachment that conducted the Interview. Just because your DS submitted his "Complete" package does not mean the package is "Board Ready". Good Luck.
Congratulations to your on his award this past year! Our son's package was fully submitted but after the October board. He was going to interview with the CO of the Rutgers University NROTC but before he could set it up he was contacted by the Philadelphia NTAG CO and interviewed with him. It went very well and he's very excited in anticipation of how the next several years will play out. Thank you for your insights! Gooooo Navy!
I am curious if your son was being considered for an ISR? I say that because if an interview had been set for the Rutgers PNS, an NTAG Co would not normally do the interview. But if it was for an ISR, then the interview has to be done by the NTAG Co. Either way it seems like things are moving along.
Yes sir. We were informed ISRs (Immediate Scholarship Reservations) are few and far between; only 5 per NTAG (Navy Talent Acquisition Group) - where the candidate's application is confirmed as completed and as long as the interview is solid it's approved and doesn't need to be approved by the board. When he interviewed with the CO, he was informed straightaway he was the first on their interview list and was being offered an ISR.
"Additional processing" is a sort of catch all which can mean a lot. Sometimes it just means a lot of applications were received at once and they are being placed into a board review folder. Sometimes it means the record may go into the next board. And once in a while it can mean one of the teachers looks like they write the evaluation with their toes and nobody can read it. So they are waiting fpr the teacher to resubmit. But the recruiter will likely answer after the turkey break.
I read that the sweet spot to tap the Heinz bottle to get the ketchup flowing is the 57 logo on the neck. Does that work on flag officers too?
