I just finished up my senior year of HS, and am planning to attend the University of Arizona.

I just finished up my senior year of HS, and am planning to attend the University of Arizona. I am trying to make myself as competitive as possible to seek a pilot slot through ANY means including ROTC, OCS, etc. I have completed a few steps so far as per the last post, but looking for more information on what I can focus on NOW to get started once the school year begins. Over the last few years I have accomplished the following towards my goal:
- Finished my Private Pilot ASEL rating and tacked on about 90 hours to my logbook.
- Working out 6 times a week for the last 10 months, focusing on weightlifting to build muscle. I definitely need to focus on the cardio based aspects of the PRT requirements, however I am a relatively lean person already at 6"0 and 150, so wanting to gain some more mass before I do so.
- I am majoring in Pre-Business on a Finance track, planning to join intramural sports leagues, both a social & business fraternity, and considering Navy ROTC just not 100% certain on how that works if they offer guaranteed paths to flight, etc.
