Appealing a "Dream School" Denial

<p>Darkage1: Congratulations on that NROTC scholarship!! </p>

<p>Although I cannot really comment on the appeals process simply because I have no experience with this, it would seem to me that getting the NROTC scholarship would be reason for a school to re-evaluate a student’s admission application. I know our son was being offered full 4-yr Army ROTC scholarships to schools that he had not yet even applied to. He had to accept one and only one schol. offer, but was having to accept without even knowing what schools would be accepting him, and at the same time he was waiting also on an answer from a service academy. </p>

<p>Air Force ROTC is somewhat different, where scholarship recipients are chosen and then they are allowed to use the scholarship at the school of their choice that offers AFROTC. Navy was the one branch he did not apply to, but I know their selection is every bit as competitive. ROTC instructors are trying to fill their classes with top quality cadets, esp. those who have the qualifications that fit a full scholarship. Have you been in touch with the NROTC officer on that campus that works with admissions? I’d be sure to contact them if you haven’t already…they should have a working relationship with admissions and could probably pull some weight. I know the AROTC instructors at school “x” that our son initially accepted the schol for were watching in the admissions office for his application to come through. </p>

<p>Best of luck and let us know how things turn out!</p>
