Yeah, your GPA is really weak. You will definitely need to bolster your OCS package with some great test scores.
Advice? Thanks to Internet, you have a wealth of info at your fingertips here and on other sites as well. So what to do?
1. You need to get up to speed on everything that goes into your package and start tackling each hurdle. The friendly AW search feature really works and you should go to Intel threads as well as
ASTB threads and look what other people have been posting on their GPA, test scores, etc. You'll get a good idea whether you are competitive or not. There is also a nifty feature at bottom of each thread in which software looks at thread title and selects up to four similar threads that should be similar so it's doing part of the legwork for you.
2. Intel is amazingly competitive as far as GPA goes (like others have said).
Hey guys,
I was just wondering, how does the competition for intel stacks up these days? My recruiter told me I was competitive with a 58 OAR and 5s, but it seems to me like that is pretty middle of the road. I’ve got a 3.92 at Grinnell College (if anyone has ever heard of it) and a number of extracurricular activities.
thanks
Check out what Intel Pro-recs have for GPA and Major/Minor and you'll see it's a seller's market and GPAs tend to be sky high.
3. You already cracked code of the Enlisted Recruiters who will try to get you to enlist and later apply for STA-21, etc. Not that there's anything
wrong with that. We have a great cross section of priors, Academy types, Navy, Marine, USCG, Army and even USAF "regulars" on AW representing just about every path to a commission including Direct Commission into reserves or enlisting in same.
