thanks everyone again.

In the end USD was put as the #1 choice … around 8/12 if I recall, at which date the application was complete and showed online that USD was #1 in rank order. Ultimately it was decided that USD and the other more selective school were about equally preferred (though one more prestigious), so no point in taking the risk. Serving as a naval officer is after all more prestigious than acceptance at any university, anywhere.

NYeagle22 –

Now, another poster on another Service Academy website has posted, and one person confirmed a few days ago that the NROTC scholarship committee did NOT meet in late August after all. So the earliest anyone will find out, assuming their application is in the first (presumably late Sept. meeting) is around the 2nd week of October. Another thread last year on this site indicates that the notification comes via the internet application website, where the Application Status verbiage changes from “application complete” to "Congratulations … etc. Then 2-4 weeks later the paper mail confirmation arrives. Last year notification changes were always on a Wednesday.
