<p>In our DS’s hs 3 kids were awarded type 1. Our DS took the AFROTC scholarship over the AFA due to the program that was offered at the univ. He is NOT an engineering student, he is in international relations with govt studies. He has no regrets choosing ROTC over the AFA.</p>
<p>What you need to do is to sit down with the ROTC commanderr and learn about the det…i.e.what your chances to obtain your final goal (they have the statistics of cadets getting their 1st pick)…will they support you for the AFA in your freshman yr if you determine that you want the AFA and re-apply…most importantly do you want to attend that university. </p>
<p>Our DS is kicking a** in his det. He scored very in his AFOQT (the highest for a freshman, and no need to re-take 89 and 94 in certain areas)h understood the need to be physically fit and passed the PFA high enough that he is not required to attend mandatory fitness training(his 1 1/2 mi run is 10:30. push ups and sit ups were over 80 ea)</p>
<p>Also realize that the AF is changing in his freshman class of @45, only 3 want to fly. They have shown through historical records that anyone with a gpa of 3.0+ has received a UPT slot if qual. Only 3 cadets want a UPT slot. </p>
<p>The most important thing to remember is your youth will pass you by…if you want the AFA fight for it tooth and nail, if you want to serve your country, but still be the avg college student than take ROTC. It is a hard decision that only you can answer. </p>
<p>NO OFFENSE talk to your folks, the det commanders and look into yourself. The AFA is the most amazing education that you will ever receive, but that doesn’t mean it is a right fit for you! You are the only one that knows where you will be happiest at.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>AIM HIGH…ABOVE ALL</p>
