<p>Okay so I'm planning on applying to the University of Arizona.</p>
<p>My GPA is a 2.77 and SAT is 1500 and tons of EC's</p>
<p>University of Arizona had a 23% applying students that had GPAs ranging from 2.5-2.9</p>
<p>as seen here:</p>
<p>College</a> Search - University of Arizona - U of A - At a Glance</p>
<p>My GPA is eligible, but I'm scared I won't get accepted because I got 6 D's and 1 F</p>
<p>But I made all those classes up at a different high school and got credit for it.</p>
<p>ANd I called 3 days ago and they said they only look at the better grade.</p>
<p>What do you guys think my chances are? Thx :)</p>
<p>If they only look at the better grades, then what are you worrying about?</p>
<p>Can you pay the out-of-state costs?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m gonna do AF ROTC and my parents helped save up a good amount of money.</p>
<p>Pretty expensive though, 20k just because of out of state.</p>
<p>Oh and I’m worrying because on the website it said more than 2 deficiencies is not allowed.</p>
<p>Even though I know kids that got in with worth grades than me, but they’re in-state.</p>
<p>Do you really think you can get an AF ROTC scholarship with a 2.7 GPA and a 1500 SAT?</p>
<p>AF ROTC scholarship with those stats will not fly (pun intended).</p>
<p>In fact, this year it wouldn’t have even gotten you an Army ROTC Scholarship. Lots of kids with much better stats without Army ROTC scholarships this year.</p>
<p>Recommendation - Call a recruiting officer at the school and ask for the stats of this year’s incoming scholarship class. Working with the actual facts would be a good thing.</p>
<p>Oh I didn’t know they accepted you based on stats.</p>
<p>My friend had like a 2.52 and he got into the Marines ROTC so I assumed you could join any ROTC</p>
<p>Well okay anyone else have answers?</p>
<p>^^^
You can join any ROTC provided you meet their published minimums (check their ROTC sites) and the detachment finds you acceptable. However, joining ROTC does not mean:
A. You will get any money (scholarship)
B. You’ll ever be a commissioned officer. You will need to be contracted to become a commissioned officer and that will depend heavily on how well you did in high school or your college GPA and major.
Good luck!</p>
<p>Alright cool.</p>
<p>Any answers on my real question though? I still haven’t gotten a direct answer.</p>
