Air Force ROTC Chances?
I'm a junior in high school and am interested in the Air Force but I think I want to do college first. I've looked into the AFROTC and it looks really promising but my grades aren't the best. I want to know if I have a decent chance of getting into or not. My cumulative GPA is only 2.3 (I was really slacking my freshman and sophomore year), I'm 40 out of 67 in my class, I'm in track at the moment and next year I plan on playing football, track, and baseball, I've never been in any trouble with the law besides one speeding ticket for going 5 mph over, I got 74 on my ASVAB, and haven't taken any college entrance exams yet. I'm guessing my chances are pretty low but I'd like to hear a little feedback. Thanks in advance.

Lukas. I want to offer a suggestion to you. I understand you may not feel you are able to obtain an AFROTC scholarship as of now. Here is my suggestion. Have you ever looked into one of the Senior Military Colleges? You can go to one of these schools, get involved in their Corps of Cadets and AFROTC, find a way to pay for your first year, and after spending some time at the college, getting better grades and being actively involved, you can look into applying for a 3 or 2 year ROTC scholarship. There is still a chance for the ROTC scholarship, and it will help you get the education you want. It will also offer you a chance to experience a military lifestyle and really make the decision of wheter or not it's right for you.

Your probability is precisely comparable to any of the different 1000's of applicants for pilot's positions that the U. S. Air tension gets each and each month... narrow to none! Bump that GPA as much as 4.0 at a real college and you will be able to advance your possibilities slightly, yet Embry Riddle... No way!
