<p>Hello i am a arizona sophomore high school student and my dream college is the university of Arizona but before i go to college i would like to serve my country. but will that hurt my chances to get in to UofA. here are my stats</p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.05 (I will get it up to at least a 3.35 by the end of high school)
GPA W: 3.22(around 3.65 by the end of high school)
SAT; I have not taken it yet but I have been studying and I hope to get a 1800+</p>

<p>Junior year classes

APUSH
Duel enrollment spanish
Duel enrollment lit.
Duel enrollment psychology
Algabra 3-4
EC's- track

Chem club
FCA
Also i will have taken 4 years of spanish by the end of my high school career so I will most likely be fluent.</p>

<p>Volenteer work- around 150+ hours by the end of high school.</p>

<p>So what I am asking is what are my chances stright out of high school and straight out of the military and which route I should choose.
I wrote this fast so sorry for all the mistakes.
Thank you.
PS. i will have 48 -60 college credits by the end of high shool if that helps at all.</p>

<p>That would be a good question to take to the people in the Veterans sub-forum. It is under the heading “Specialty College Admissions Topics” inside the Admissions forum.</p>

<p>It looks like you are in a dual enrollment program. It might make more sense for you to go to college straight from HS, and plan to graduate in just two years more. With a full bachelor’s degree you would have more options when you enlist.</p>

<p>Going into the military first will NOT hurt you in college admissions. It may even help since colleges know you are more mature, know how to follow directions, and have funding for your schooling. I do agree with Happymom it might be better to finish college first and, rather than enlist, seek a commission.</p>
