<p>I know that they canceled the OTS non-rate board last summer and stated that those applying could apply for the Jan. board. The problem is with a 10% acceptance rate, having fewer boards will mean more competition.</p>
<p>I think that is where you maybe confused. Schools are still going because they have to get through the back log from previous board selections. In essence, what they will do is stop having boards, and slow the incoming classes down until they get the numbers back in line.</p>

<p>I would bet they will even slow it down more since they are slowing down ROTC scholarships already, and allowing some cadets to leave with no commitment or scholarship pay back. They need to try these methods so they won’t have to go through a bigger RIF.</p>
