Answers:
Just a little background. I have a degree currently. BBA in Finance. GPA was 2.72.
I was wondering if it’s possible to be accepted into the universities AFROTC program while getting a second bachelors?
1 - Yes, it is possible, but
OTS may be a faster route, although that GPA will be a major obstacle for you to get into OTS right now.
The second would be in architecture. So it would be a technical degree.
2 - That is good-- technical degrees are definitely preferred in most cases, however, that degree will mean odds are higher that you will go in as a Civil Engineer officer (32EX). Research that career field and make sure it is right for you. There are VERY few pure Architect positions available in the Active Duty AF. If you are more interested in an AF career rather than architecture, then I suggest pursuing architectural engineering instead. Very similar, but with a heavier emphasis on things that will benefit you in CE.
Is there an age cap to be in ROTC? (I would not apply for scholarship as I am 29).
3 - You are not prior-enlisted, I assume. In that event, the age cutoff is currently 39, meaning you will need to commission
before your 40th birthday. The other age restriction would be for a non-RPA rated position, which is currently 29 (although there is an exception to policy letter in effect right now that pushes that out a few years, you cannot count on anything other than 29 until that exception to policy becomes official policy).
Is there any other suggestions in terms of going in as an officer?
4 - In your case, going in with that GPA will be a major challenge. You
must have a 3.0+ to be competitive for Field Training selection (which will likely occur within a year or so of beginning your architectural program, depending on how you are entered into the AFROTC curriculum). Architecture will be much more difficult than finance, and unless you do not transfer in classes, you will begin with a sub-3.0. If you are not picked up for FT, then you are removed from AFROTC and back to applying for OTS.
You should consider sitting down with the Det where you intend to pursue your second bachelors and ask them for advice on the best way to pursue this commission. They may agree that OTS is the best route unless you can either (a) get straight-A's until you are considered for Field Training, or (b) start your new degree fresh (i.e. not transferring in that low GPA).
Thanks for being willing to serve! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
