I posted this in the wrong forum the other day, someone advised I post it here.
On the Marines website I read that you can get into the PLC program while attending a community college so long as you sign a letter of intent to transfer to a university. Do they discriminate against community college applicants? It seems likely.
I'm about to start my freshman year of college at a community college. I've been hoping to apply for PLC after my first semester. I figure the sooner I apply the better, this way if I don't get in I'll still have two tries before needing to consider a different commissioning route. I haven't a clue what my PFT is as of right now. But I'm confident I can have a 300 PFT in 6 months. I'm aiming for the highest GPA possible, but realistically I think I'll atleast have a 3.5. Also how much does your major factor in? I've heard it doesn't matter what you major in. And if that's the case I'm going to choose something not so challenging in order to have an amazing GPA. I'm pretty desperate to get into PLC because I read that after your second 6 week term in quantico (or 10 week) if you have an SNA contract you can get free flight training your senior year. I'd imagine that'll give me a leg up in flight school.
