Greetings and a question!
Hi All,
I've been lurking here for some time..what a great forum! I wanted to say hi, let everyone know a bit about me, and see what you more experienced folks think about my chances for getting into OCS/getting a flying slot are...
I'll be graduating from the University of Colorado in May with a degree in aerospace engineering. The only thing I'm concerned about is my GPA, which will be a 2.4. What I'm hoping the board will see is that my last 2 semesters have made a 4.0 (I made some mistakes early on). The rest of my stats look like this:
-22 years old/Male
-ASTB: 9/9/9 65
-PRT: Good High
-LOR: 4 from flight instructor, professor, former boss, former NASA astronaut/Navy pilot
-GPA: 2.4 (last 2 semesters have been 4.0)
-120 hrs of logged flight time, Private Pilot powered and glider ratings.
-Eagle Scout
-Squeaky clean criminal/driving record
-President of the Flying Club at CU
-Over 150 hours/year of volunteer time with various organizations
-Master SCUBA diver
Anyways, just wanted to see what you folks thought...I know they try to look at the whole person, so I'm hoping that they'll see past my low, low GPA.
Cheers!
Ryan
