Last year my daughter received an AROTC 3AD scholarship on the the 2nd board. A couple of weeks before the final board met, she logged onto her portal to show a classmate, who had also applied, what the page would say if she was selected. To my daughter's surprise, her portal gave the name of the university she selected and said "4 year scholarship". She thought there must be some mistake and called the ROO at her school. He confirmed that his records showed she had been awarded a 4YR. A few days later, a letter from CC came in the mail congratulating her on her selection. I don't know how often this happens, but it happened to us last year.
