Jaz,
to clarify your question you have to realize that the GI Bill is only for prior service members that served 3+ yrs active duty, got honorably discharged, also they would have had to give-in to the program for a year roughly $1200. BDCP is for civies or non-active priors.
you can get into the GI Bill once commissioned and use it for post-grad work after your EAOS. i was under the impression that i might be able to use it while serving, but i was misinformed. sadly enough i will have to pay my loans back out of pocket.

]). So you get your base pay, food, and housing. This comes with no responsibilities while in school like you would have for ROTC. The only things you have to do are check in with your recruiter once a month, send in your transcripts at the end of each term, and take the PRT every 6 months. Doing this you have to go through OCS though, which if you did ROTC you wouldn't have to do. As far as getting in, well... I'm not sure. If you've read the posts on here lately you would have seen that many people have good stats and are getting rejected. However that doesn't mean that a very qualified applicant can't get in. I applied (actually sent in the application) between the first semester and second semester of my sophomore year(meaning I started the application process in Oct/Nov). Ummm....not sure what else you want to know. I suggest keeping your grades as high as possible no matter what track you decide to take. I know some people on here will tell you that not having a great GPA came back to haunt them. Hoped that at least helped a little.
