University of Arizona, 1st choice!... Bear Down Arizona!!!
Congratulations! That's my alma mater - I think she'll love it! Only downside of Arizona is that they won't let you stack merit scholarships so she'll have to pay for room & board. I tried to get DS (recent ISR NROTC scholarship recipient) to apply there, but he wants either Embry Riddle Daytona or one of the SMCs. Still waiting on Placement.
Well quite shocked; however, our DD was just selected for the NROTC scholarship.
Tier 3 - George Washington University.
She has some thinking to do now.
My DS#1 accepted AROTC and the Army was going to present his big check at 11:45am.. he got a call from CGA to accept an appointment at 10am. I called the Army as soon as I can and cancelled their trip to my DS school. Then my husband called the Army main office. They said, if my son decided the CGA is not for him, his 4 yrs AROTC scholarship is his until school semester start. He is in the class of 2020,In regards to her notification, she was sent an email and when she checked the portal it too was updated. Only the portal gave the school.
I honestly did not expect this so all I can say is (and it has been said by so many). “You have no idea what they are looking for.”
I watched two sons go through this and their resumes were identical. My oldest did not get it my other son did. My daughters resume was stronger in academia; however, her math was weak and she applied tier 2. I’m truly confused.
I think I was even more surprised by her reaction. It started a practice with the coach sending her home and when she got in the door she was super over the top happy. I don’t get the crying stuff.
She has not heard back from the Naval Academy but something tells me she will accept the NROTC scholarship.
And the journey begins [emoji3][emoji631][emoji631][emoji631][emoji3] Pass this along for me if you will shipmate. "Young lady, go forth and do great things". We're all rooting for you!!DD accepted her scholarship tonight. Aug 26, NSO; start of breakdown & buildup. She saw her brother after his first night and talked to him about the rest so she has a very small glimmer of a clue of what’s to come. “Very” small glimmer.
Great to hear that your DD accepted her NROTC scholarship. The Capital Battalion at George Washington University provides some great opportunities that are difficult to match elsewhere. The close proximity to the capital provides many great guest speakers. Also, PT is held on the capital mall in front of the Lincoln Memorial! Hard to beat that. Wishing your DD all the best.DD accepted her scholarship tonight. Aug 26, NSO; start of breakdown & buildup.

I always knew you were a smart man. [emoji2]Thank you.... our DD is still up in the air on a school. I’m staying out of it
Would anyone whose DS or DD received the NROTC scholarship care to articulate the credentials on which the offer was made? I am curious as to how competitive my DS background is. Thanks!
Did you receive a notification today?DS received NROTC (Tier 3 ) to top choice -
1470 SAT (740 Verbal, 730 Math) grade average 92, rigorous course schedule, 3 varsity sports, Class President, Eagle Scout, Boys State, etc.
Hope this is helpful. (Still waiting on USNA!)
