Hi everyone! So I probably won't be getting to West Point this year, and I have few questions about my first year in college and what I can do to increase my chances of getting into the class of 2026.
1. I would like to major in aerospace engineering, but I heard with all the online learning engineering students have been having a rough time keeping their GPA up. I really don't want to major in something like underwater basket weaving and have my brain rot, but I also don't want to have a low GPA. Should I keep my major the same, or try something easier?
2. I'll need to find a job to help pay for college if I don't receive an ROTC scholarship, but I plan on going through ROTC with or without the scholarship. Will this be a problem? Will ROTC be more like having a second job than a class?
3. What are some different jobs in the city that any of you have had? I've only worked on a ranch and tutored, so I've never had an "official" job.
4. How will the re-applicant process be different than the first go around? I plan on starting it as soon as it opens, but should I be prepared to go through some extra hoops?
5. What are some things that I can do right now to help me do better next year?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
