Hi, everyone. Sorry if some of these questions have been answered previously, I read what I could find about NUPOC via the search function and some posts were fairly old so I'm hoping to get some more up to date information.
How competitive is the NUPOC program right now? I just finished my junior year as an industrial engineer (minoring in six sigma and economics) and have a 3.21 cumulative GPA. How do I stack up? From what I've read, it seems like a 3.0+ in a technical major and a clean record is practically a shoo-in to interview. Also, is it true that the screeners don't even read your personal statement and skip straight to your transcript? Can the ability to speak a foreign language really impact your application (I can speak both Mandarin Chinese and German, though right now I'm very rusty at both)?
I was planning on submitting my application by the end of this week with the hope of interviewing in July but according to this thread (http://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/july-boards.39058/) it seems like that ship has sailed. Would it somehow be possible to get a July board or would I have to wait until August?
