    Contract Signing

    When you say local rep, I assume you mean State Representative or something, that would trump say 1 of 5 professors assuming he gives you a good letter. You need a 250 - 300 pft, 3+ gpa and 3's, 4's and 5's on the ASVAB. If you are in certain parts of US, it will be harder for you to get in...
