<p>Yes. My son got emails yesterday afternoon from his #1, #4, & #5. (4 & 5 are in the same batallion.)</p>
<p>Then, today, when I checked his online status at the AROTC website, it showed a list of all his scholarship schools. #2 and #6 are also included. Son was beaming. </p>
<p>Please let me take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been so helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with me and all my questions. Without your guidance, Son’s outcome may not have been so positive. CC is a great cyber community. Thanks. :)</p>
<p>My daughter got offers from #1 and #4. Daughter had received ED at school #1, so we are all very excited about her scholarship offer there came through. I think #2 passed because she had already received an academic schoarship offer that was larger than the ROTC scholarship would have been. Finally the waiting for admission and ROTC is over! </p>
<p>Thanks to everyone on this forum for your advice.</p>
<p>Like many others my daughter just found out that she has been selected for an Army 4 year scholarship. A few minutes ago we went on the DoDMERB website that was included in her initial status change to set up her account and hopefully schedule her physical. After setting up the account and signing on we were surprised by the following message. She has also applied to AFROTC and NROTC but we have not heard anything yet from either of those programs. Strange that the following doesn’t even mention the Army. Does this mean what it seems?</p>

<p>Congrats!!! What a wonderful holiday present for your family!!!</p>
<p>I hope we will get such a nice present next year.</p>
<p>Out of pure selfishness, I would like to urge you to stay on this board and guide us who are going through this process with our children by sharing your experience and advising us.</p>
<p>I promise when my son hopefully makes through the whole process successfully next year, I will return the favor to other parents who could benefit from my experience. That’s cosmic justice, right? :)</p>
<p>A little early with our congratulations (the rest you got right). We get to wait some more, unfortunately. </p>
<p>From what I’ve been picking up, this year they are not giving out as many scholarships in December as they used to. I’m hearing that too many of them are being turned in after the school admit doesn’t work out for some highly competitive schools. January should yield more scholarships (and hopefully one for goaliegirl).</p>
<p>And of course, I’ll stick around here. I’ve been working the Boarding School threads for 4 years now and will continue even after goaliegirl graduates next May.</p>
<p>And you should stick around just because you are very thoughtful in all of your contributions.</p>
<p>So our good news just got a lot more concerning. We received the formal letter today from ROTC. Beside our daughter’s #1 school, it said she recieved a 3 Year AD offer, not a 4-year offer. We have never even heard of such a thing. It appears that this means she does not get a 4-year scholarship. This offer basically says you can get a scholarship starting softmore year but nothing freshman year. The web site from ROTC made no such designtation and I have never even heard of this program. So, needless to say, quite a bit of confusion here. Anyone else seeing anything like this in their letters?</p>
<p>Could your daughter by any chance have a significant number of college credits under her belt, perhaps making her status other than a freshman upon matriculation? That might be an issue with a 4-year scholarship.</p>
<p>Didn’t think that the units had any “campus scholarships” (the typical 2 and 3 year scholarships) right now, much less could offer them through the 4-year process.</p>
<p>You might want to run that up the flagpole over at Service Academy Forums to see if anyone over there has heard of it either.</p>
<p>actually, this confirms the veracity of some of the input I got directly from a couple of PMSs a couple of months ago.</p>
<p>I called several PMSs to get advance information and advice for my HS junior son. That’s how I first learned that scholarship money is much tighter this year. They told me than they will sort of “experiment” with different types of scholarship, like the one Mariner mentioned. 3 year or 2 year scholarships instead of 4 year scholarship that start at the beginning of sophomore or junior year. </p>
<p>My sentiment is that more popular battalions may do this </p>
<p>Mariner: may I ask whether you consider the #1 battalion to be a highly popular one?</p>
<p>hyeonjlee, the school is very popular. The battalion said they had 75 applicants for 4 or maybe 6 scholarships, but that my daughter was in the top 10 and had a good chance. They said 50 of the applicants had no chance of getting admitted. </p>
<p>Mariner116: Is the pre-vet program in her #1 school actually a three year program, and a four year program at some of the other schools that she has been approved for? I found this about one college:</p>
<p>“The pre-veterinary medicine program is not a degree-granting program. It is important, therefore, to identify an appropriate major early in your college career that does grant a degree. There are several reasons for committing to a degree-granting program. Although the pre-veterinary medicine requirements can be met in three years, most veterinary colleges give extra credit for a degree when you apply.”</p>
<p>If your daughter has to do a year of pre-requisites before actual admittance into the pre-vet program that might account for the three year scholarship at the #1 college beginning in the sophomore year. Just speculating…</p>
<p>Hi aglages, the program is a standard 4-year college major. The three year deal is not worth much at all (you MIGHTget a 3-year scholarship IF a PMS recommends you) but it triggers the one month acceptance period. It seems she would have been better off getting no offer at all in this board round.</p>
<p>Looking back at your previous posts, your daughter was admitted to #1 school ED. Is that binding ED or can she enroll at the #4 school where you have the 4-year scholarship? </p>
<p>Is financing this first year going to be dependent upon school FA as a result? Is an inadequate offer going to allow you to take the #4 school offer?</p>
<p>And after you talk to the PMS or ROO, please let us know what the “terms” on the 3-year AD scholarship are. You may very well be right that this is what any walk-on can get and has no real value (no guarantee). </p>
