Hi all,
I'm going into my AS200 year, but I'm struggling in Aerospace engineering and I have calculated that the max GPA I can get before field training packets get sent to HQ is 2.97. That's assuming I get straight A's come fall. I'm on a type 7 scholarship and I can financially afford to change majors to a non tech major and lose it, but I worry that even If I do so, and classes get easier, a 2.97 will look awful compared to other cadets who have been non-tech since day one. In the short run, I feel like it would be beneficial to stick with AE because they take that into account for EA's, but in the long run, they don't discriminate based on major for pilot selection. I've talked to my cadre about this and he said that he expected field selection rates to be high again for next summer and that I should stick with the major, but I'd like a second opinion or two.
Thanks in advance, everyone!
