I already recognized that I am making excuses for lack of participation in a previous post. I am, however, considering that ROTC may be a better fit for me as a student due to my current stress experience. While I plan on continuing to strive for the USAFA standards, I know that there is AFROTC at my state university, so I may choose to focus on my academics if trying to integrate sports spreads me too thin. I don't yet know my limits and if making my application competitive for the academy is outside of my capacity then I will have to look into different possible routes to the AF.
Thanks to everyone for all the insight and input.
Typically ROTC programs can be more competitive than the academies. Generally a bit higher avg. GPA, SAT/ACT etc etc. This is because the academies selection process at least starts out as geocentric. ROTC programs do not have that restriction and can pick from anyone across the country.
Don't ROTC programs pick from the students attending the school at which they are based? I haven't done as much research on ROTC, so sorry if this is kind of an obvious question.
