You were accepted to the college but NROTC denied you? Are you talking about the scholarship portion or NROTC?
[Disclaimer]BTW, I am once again a dumbass and failed to notice that this thread is under Enlisted Commissioning Programs. I just noticed the title and talking about the U, and knew a little about it from family experience. I am not a prior, and tried to enter in as a 2 year college program student. Anyways my story is probably irrelevent to the thread, but will keep it if you are still curious. Sorry if I confused or mislead or anything else bad. Good luck to all applying.[/Disclaimer]
To be honest, I dont know, and here is why. I condensed it but its a long story and will keep the names out. I go and talk with recruiter who tells me that college program will be good since I dont need the math and that my age won't be an issue. I also would not need to do the summer intro course if I double my Naval Science courses throughout the 2 years. I say good and grab the paperwork, drive home to California and fill it out. Drive back up to hand deliver the paperwork but give it to another staff member after the person I was to deliver it to failed to show up that day after I scheduled it. It gets fuzzy from here (it was a few years ago). I am pretty much told that I needed an interview with the CO and that it was just a formality and that I would be in. I go with that and show up a month before school starts and meet with a new staff member who replaced the one that I originally talked to. My packet is missing, was told to fill out a new packet and could maybe join in the new semester. My packet is found buried in the CO's desk and my age would now be an issue including my lack of math, and I needed to attend summer intro course since I was a transfer. I debated that but that was 'in the books' so to speak and couldn't double the classes up. Decided that prolonging my graduation a year for a possible slot did not outweigh my wifes career (we quit our jobs to move up there) and paying out of state tuition. We choose to return back to California to get in state tuition and my wifes career back and shoot for OCS. A week or two after we moved back to our place, I get a call saying that my packet was rejected due to my age.
What happened to me sucks IMHO, and hope it doesnt happen to anyone, yet I understand that was also my fault for not following through enough. I think things happen for a reason and it was a big learning experience for me. I am Pro-Rec now and will get my commission soon enough I hope. Thats my story.
