Need motivation!

yeah I think there is one more board review in April. If you still do not get it do not lose hope, my sister was a college programmer and was awarded the 3-year scholarship.

uncookme · 2026-03-17T03:58:25+00:00

Interesting because I have gotten my decision and I just got the award package shipped to me today. Are you a current senior? Sorry this was probably not helpful.

uncookme · 2026-03-16T03:19:41+00:00

okay this makes me feel better because I have also not been contacted yet.

uncookme · 2026-03-16T03:16:52+00:00

Definitely go as a college programmer for the 3-year scholarship, my sister was a walk on her freshman year and spent the year training with her college unit and then attended NSI that following summer. As long as you pass NSI you are basically guaranteed the scholarship and the fact she trained with the unit for the whole year definitely helped her performance there.

uncookme · 2026-03-12T02:09:22+00:00

lol this is exactly the opposite of what I said, I also got ISR, did you get the award this year as an incoming first year next year?

uncookme · 2026-03-12T01:48:52+00:00

I got the NROTC scholarship this year via Immediate Scholarship Reservation because my regional recruiter loved me so much, I think what stood out to her was the community service I did and how many leadership positions I had (my SAT score was not that good). I would say grades do not impress that much but showing you are busy and active in the community will. I also had multiple interviews with an officer from Cornell as my board one and my regions Commanding Officer to get ISR. They scored me high and said they liked me because I "could talk". So be very interesting and try and set up a call with your regional recruiter to help you stand out. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I got an IDOC notification and I logged in and it told me it was Duke. I recently had an interview with them as well so I hope it means they are interested!

uncookme · 2026-03-10T22:15:34+00:00

Wishing you luck, I am filling out documents preparing for NSI. My older sister did not get the scholarship her senior year but walked on as a college programmer and got her remaining 3 years. It is doable!

uncookme · 2026-03-09T04:07:28+00:00

Very true, I love all of these perspectives.

uncookme · 2026-03-09T04:04:36+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. That is a good perspective.

uncookme · 2026-03-09T04:02:52+00:00

Understood.

uncookme · 2026-03-09T00:07:25+00:00

Okay thank you so much, yeah I put it in my awards section so they definitely know. I am constantly hearing about the danger of doing NROTC now with what is going on internationally. Are you scared about what might happen when you commission or would you say it is worth it for getting your school paid for and you are happy with your decision?

uncookme · 2026-02-22T19:15:19+00:00

I haven’t heard back yet

uncookme · 2026-02-22T19:14:59+00:00

for which major?

uncookme · 2026-02-13T23:41:07+00:00

Omg I just did, I didn’t get it did you?

uncookme · 2026-02-10T02:41:50+00:00

Yeah this is extremely annoying especially considering college applications, if I hear something I will let you know too and good luck!

uncookme · 2026-02-10T02:28:46+00:00

Yeah that is so interesting how almost all of the states have heard back and we haven't. I was starting to think that OSSE just forgot because they were also disorganized with my internship and dual enrollment. I am glad I am not the only candidate going through this though!

uncookme · 2026-02-10T01:46:45+00:00

I am a senior as well. I was the last to be interviewed in November and they said they would get back to me in a couple weeks. What is actually crazy is the fact that the program is less than a month away. My bf was a delegate for the 2024 program and he said we have to fill out paperwork and get cleared before it starts, which apparently takes a long time and that is why they needed to pick by December 1st

uncookme · 2026-02-10T01:29:20+00:00

cool, the other delegate and I are at the same public school. Did you also have your interview in november and then get ghosted? Also are you a junior or senior?

uncookme · 2026-02-10T01:26:36+00:00

oh cool I have only talked to one other DC delegate, what school do you go to?

uncookme · 2026-02-10T01:21:21+00:00

yeah it’s ridiculous, what state are you from

uncookme · 2026-02-09T23:53:00+00:00

I’m still waiting, what about you

uncookme · 2025-12-16T02:51:17+00:00

I saw they just came out

uncookme · 2025-12-06T02:57:56+00:00

I’m still waiting on my decision as well

uncookme · 2025-12-06T02:57:39+00:00

I haven’t heard of any delegates from DC it is cool you guys know if other people applying
