Hi,
I am a future AROTC cadet. I have been accepted into the program for next semester, but recently I have been wondering if I still have time to try and get into an SA. I'm not from a military family, and my parents in some ways disapprove of my wanting to serve, so I didn't even know about the academies until enrolling in ROTC.
I have a somewhat unique situation in that I graduated high school and began college at 16. Because of that, for ROTC I am taking the two year option as I only have two years left for my degree and I will have to contract fall of 2017. Therefore, it seems to me, that the only time I would be able to gain acceptance to an SA would be during this application period (if there is still time?). Unfortunately, being homeschooled I have no ECs. I do have a 4.0 high school GPA, 32 ACT, and a 3.9+ college GPA after 2 years.
I'm not really asking for a "chance me," I was just wondering if anyone had any advice as to if I would be able to pursue acceptance to an SA without forfeiting my ability to contract with ROTC. Also, I do realize I would still have to attend the SA for four years and I would be fine with that.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm really in need of some advice, not being from a military family and starting quite late.
Sorry if this is in the wrong category, I would be interested in USMA and USAFA, so I thought this would be a neutral place to post.
Thanks.
