<p>So since I am on the waiting list, I have been busy making my plans for next year. As of now I am going to Syracuse University with a full ride and am considering to take AFROTC so that it could look good for me next year if I have to apply to USAFA again. </p>
<p>So the question is, will it help or is it a waste of time?</p>
<p>I would definitely think it helps since it shows a lot of dedication and interest in the Air Force.</p>
<p>I'm only a current junior but I know that if you join ROTC in college, you will be able to apply for an ROTC academy nomination from AFOATS. So I'm guessing that it is not a bad thing and would be of use.</p>
<p>I agree, it will give you that military background, and give you a taste of what life will be like in the Air Force... ;)</p>
