That sucks. It is possible I am wrong about them not caring too much about the Feb board.
Just wanted to bring this question back up. Did everyone receive this document to sign?
My recruiter actually sent it to me before receiving the scholarship. He wanted me to send it to schools asap since it usually takes them a while to complete.
Thank you for responding! My school completed mine fairly quick, so fingers crossed I could potentially hear back soon!!
Yes, my fingers are crossed for you
Do you know how many people received a YES? or alternate?
I do not, but from talking to several people they all had a dat of 23+
are those for acceptances? How about alternate? tbh, I‘m in the alternate list so I‘m just curious my chance to get off that list?
I am talking about alternates for the feb board. Everyone I talked to was placed on the alternate list or given a no from Feb board. It seems everyone (or almost everyone) from the feb board was placed on the alternate list or given a No. I was told in the Jan board there were something like 60 people on the alternate list. So add however many from this board and that is the alternate list from my understanding.
Thank you!!!
Those that were placed on the alternate list from the February board, could they be place “higher” on the list than those from the January board?
You’re the GOAT for typing this out!
That is the real moral of the story. Apply early as possible
Not the case don't mention it to the air force.
He's lying. You as an applicant should be able to apply to all the scholarships to give yourself the best shot of being accepted. This is a half a million dollars we're talking about. He can either help you or get out of the way and let someone else be your recruiter. Your future is way more important than that guy.
You’re perfectly fine! And I’m glad you came to ask us lol, we will give it to ya straight!
From what I have seen in past threads, it can wildly vary. Some recieved the first half a week or two after school started, others recieved it as late as 8-10 weeks into the semester. The other half is given later into the first semester, again it could vary.
I have not :/
Same, radio silence lol
And make sure your recruiter does everything he/she can to get you on the first board. I started my application last May and had everything finished by November. Still ended up on the Feb board.
Same exact thing happened to me...I started last spring and had everything completed by November. My recruiter told me that it didn't matter what board I was on so she put me on the Feb board, and she ended up being completely wrong
Heck yea. Nice!
Thanks
I once wanted Navy. Didn't get it but got the Army scholarship. I was disappointed as I wanted to be assigned to a marine unit. I didn't think Army was as cool until I realized how I'd never have to go on a ship for months and months. Granted, Navy has that sweet credentialing tour.
Going with the marines you would have probably been on a ship too. Credential tour can be hit and miss. You can be stuck doing exams all year or have a cool DH and be a real dentist. I will say that the Army(or any military scholarship) is a great opportunity and congrats to all that got it. Being bias, my time on a ship was monotonous, but I loved it in hindsight. You see more of the world compared to the other branches in a short period of time. Great experiences and met great people. COVID protocol obviously makes things different now.
How long did it take for you to receive scroll approval/commission and start receiving stipend? I’m in a similar situation where I will likely commission after my school starts
Did you recently get off the Army OML?
