Hello,
I am currently a senior in high school and therefore am in the process of choosing a college and commissioning program into the Navy. After doing some research on here, I found some information regarding the importance of GPA compared to the importance of college major for service selection in NROTC. Although there was some controversy on this topic, the general consensus seemed to be that your overall college GPA takes priority and that major choice is of less consideration, if any at all.
Can anyone affirm that this is also true when being reviewed by SNA selection boards for OCS?
I am currently undecided as to whether I should major in engineering or something less technical (most likely business) and I'd hate to shoot myself in the foot by ending up with a lower GPA in engineering (simply because of the difficulty of the courses) and diminish my chances when I could most likely have a higher GPA in another major. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as this is a critical time for me and I just want to give myself the best chances for being commissioned as a SNA in four years.
Thank you in advance!
