Just curious, when is service selection/assignment this year? Is it still in the fall semester? I'm also curious about the number of pilot and nfo selectees.
These two threads have popped up recently:

To sum them up, DEC grads found out a few weeks ago, MAY (or Spring) grads find out this week or next. *Note this is for ROTC, not sure what the Academy is up to.
The second thread has (uncited) figures of 217 pilots and 45 NFOs from ROTC...though who knows if those are accurate or whether they're for FY09 or just Spring selection.
So as long as I maintain a decent GPA (2.5+ or 3.0+?), stay physically fit, and not be pilot DQ'd would I have a great shot at earning a pilot slot from USNA? I just recieved an appointment to the NAPS and am currently waiting on the USAFA.

I would say yes (you should also do well 'professionally'). Getting a pilot slot out of USNA was pretty easy, imo. I don't know enough about ROTC or OCS to compare, but you've got a pretty darn good chance.So as long as I maintain a decent GPA (2.5+ or 3.0+?), stay physically fit, and not be pilot DQ'd would I have a great shot at earning a pilot slot from USNA?

Two years ago, it was a "very complex equation, we won't bore you with details" that they used to determine a pilot score for people. It factored in CQPR, college major, prior flight time, ASTB, and probably some more stuff I don't recall. Then, the board (composed of Aviation Types on the Yard) convened and voted on each package in ascending order of that score.
As the story goes, nobody with pilot as their second choice got it. My classmate who graduated with the 2nd lowest CQPR DID get designated 1390. So, it's not ALL grades. But that really helps.
