Hello all,
I am considering applying to USMA for admittance into the class of 2017. I am currently going through Norwich University's "Rookdom" experiance and just completed my first college semester last fall. I got a 3.2 (Balancing everything here is a juggling act) I am also in the VT National Guard, going to OSUT (One Stop Unit Training) this summer in sunny Ft. Benning. I get out early to return for school Aug. 15 (thanks to our Army Colonel here.)
I am originally from Illinois. I am transfering back to IL (this place is really expensive and if I don't get into WP I continue along my ROTC route.) My question is, do I have better chances applying as a Civilian or as a National Guardsman? Additionally should I open a file now through West Point now before going to OSUT and that way in August I do my CFA? Or rather, apply once I return from OSUT and wrap that up in August-September of this year?
Will WP notice my status as a successful college AROTC student/being in the Army already? Will my physical on file with the Army be acceptable for what WP wants?
I am little lost in the sauce about this all...
Thanks in advance...
