DS has asked advice on academic planning his second semester of MSIII year. He is an engineering major and has two more Humanities type of classes left, everything else is engineering. I know there are some minor benefits for taking a foreign language class for establishing points.
However I saw a presentation I believe from Cadet Command dated June 13, 2013 about FY14 OML and Branching Process for USACC. There is a slide entitled Special Programs Engineer. If I read that correctly, it says cadets with a Civil Engineering Degree who choose Engineer as 1st choice and have a GPA .2.75 will receive Active Duty and Engineering Branch.
If I have interpreted that correct, than he can take whatever elective he wants or fits best into his schedule without worrying about adding points for the OML. Frankly, he probably should do that anyway, but when I researched for the impact of the foreign language, I found this, which was news to me. Just wanted a second opinion if others understood something similar.
Of course I'll tell him to verify it from his end, but you guys are just too close for me not to ask.
Thanks
