<p>That is great news, GreatAmerican and Xchefmike!
Congratulations to your families!</p>
<p>Hey GA ... that's not a shabby "back up", which I'm assuming it is! You can keep the family jewels in Ft. Knox still, I suppose. :eek: :D Congratulations, of course to you and S! Pretty doggone :cool:</p>
<p>P.S. It seems GA and xcelMike are indicating that a "round" of NROTC scholarships have been awarded. YES? :confused:</p>
<p>Perhaps this merits it's own thread to see who has 'em?</p>
<p>I got one to Rice over a month ago.</p>
<p>Since you say this is the first round, now I'm really confused.</p>
<p>Also, there is a PFT for NROTC correct?</p>
<p>I never took one if there is.</p>
<p>^^^^^
No, there is no PRT, PFT, or CFA required to obtain a Navy ROTC scholarship. However, once you join your NROTC unit, you will be required to pass the Navy PRT twice a year.</p>
<p>Congrats! I visited RPI and their NROTC unit 2 weeks ago and I loved it! I put it down as my #2 on my NROTC app.</p>
<p>I got mine to MIT about a month ago, transferred it to University of Michigan, and am waiting for word from USNA(LOA's from USMA & USAFA).</p>
<p>The last NROTC Scholarship Board for 2007 meets 10-14 December. To have a chance of your application being reviewed by the Board, it needs to be completed by 16 Nov 2007.</p>
<p>when is the next NROTC Scholarship Board?</p>
<p>I put in all my stuff November 1. I was told that there will be a November review board. Does anyone have any information on this? I applied early decision to George Washington and had hoped to hear back from the Navy before GWU comes out with their decision Dec. 15.</p>
<p>^^^^^
For a definite answer, ask your Navy recruiter. I can tell you that it won't be the week of 19 November.</p>
<p>For anyone who is interested, the next board will start on 13 November and results will be posted beginning of December, specific day unknown.</p>
<p>When was the late board and what are the dates of the remaining boards?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I got my results last Thursday (submitted my application in november), and I got NROTC scholarship to Carnegie Mellon. The next day I got my LOA from USNA :)</p>
<p>Congrats JayBee! You should be very proud!</p>
<p>How were you notified? Phone call, letter, etc?</p>
<p>What is your intended major? Would you mind sharing your GPA, SAT stats so I can get a read on if I have a chance still?</p>
<p>Thanks IM! :)</p>
<p>For NROTC: I was checking my status online every day for the past few months lol, and I checked on Thursday and it said I was awarded schol. to CMU. I got all the paperwork in the mail yesterday.</p>
<p>For USNA: I finished my packet Dec. 25, and I got my letter saying I was "guaranteed an offer of appointment" last Friday. It was dated Jan. 11. The only thing keeping me from an appt is dodmerb.</p>
<p>I wrote that Mech. Engineering was my intended major on the NROTC app, but if I attend USNA (which I plan to) there's a good chance I'll do Naval Architecture. ahhhh it's too early to decide</p>
<p>My stats:
SAT: 2040
M: 750
CR: 630
WR: 660</p>
<p>ACT: 30
M: 28
E: 34
S: 28
R: 30</p>
<p>GPA: 3.94/4.00 (unweighted) in private college prep school
2 AP's last year (Calc AB: 4, USH: 3)
3 AP's this year (Calc BC, Eng Lit, Psych, and I'll retake USH)</p>
<p>2 year class president, 2 time team captain, 3 years varsity golf (letter), 1 year varsity soccer (letter), 2 years jv basketball, 3 years FIRST robotics (1 year team captain), 2 year school ambassador, 2 years part time job (promoted to shift leader last december), NASS attendee, lots of volunteer work</p>
<p>Nomination came from district rep. Sen 1 (hillary clinton) interviewed me but said no (lol), Sen 2 (charles schumer) declined to interview because I already had nomination from district rep</p>
<p>BGO interview went very well, I brought a resume and he was really really impressed by it</p>
<p>essay was exactly 500 words lol</p>
<p>and I'm a white dude from western NY</p>
<p>Jaybee:</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. Your stats are very comparable to mine and ECs as well. I did not apply USNA, only NROTC.</p>
<p>The the difference is your major - Mech Engineering. I've been told that is where most of the scholarships are going towards. I think my History major is really going to hurt me. :(</p>
<p>Did you apply Navy or the Marine option?</p>
<p>There's a thread floating around here somewhere talking about how the USMC doesn't really care about major, and that some of the best officers were history majors like yourself.</p>
<p>Personally, I would love to major in history. It's always been my favorite subject (and TV channel lol), but I realize there's a lot more opportunities in today's world with a technical degree. I suppose it's going against the "do what you love doing most" rule, and I do respect you for pursuing what you love.</p>
<p>Navy option</p>
