Do you have a DD-214? Did you graduate?
No I did not graduate. I received an Honorable Discharge but do not have a copy of the document. I am requesting it. I left before the start of my third year.

Is it for benefit purposes or just a definition question?
I don't know the ins and outs of how reserve time counts, so I won't be any help answering the question.

My assumption would be that you would not be considered a "Veteran." (Because you didn't deploy or serve out your USNR obligation) But, I really don't know the legal requirements to be considered a veteran. I found this website, it might help:

Good luck.

The segment of the reserve that you are sworn in to on acceptance day is such a "deep" standby reserve (USNR-S2/Inactive I believe) that your time is not officially creditable towards official veterans status.
