There is a form in the preppie packet showing if you bring proof of certain accomplishments (ex: CAP Billy Mitchell Award or college units, etc) you may be ranked E-3 (or E-2) instead of E-1. I’ve seen conflicting answers as to whether this ranking affects pay. Either they get paid more (E-3 vs E-1) or they don’t (all direct entry get standard cadet pay). If everyone gets the same pay, is there some other benefit to being placed E-3?
 
It does effect pay. Just like prior enlisted are paid at their pay rate incoming preppies May be paid at the pay rate according to the packet.
