Hey all, im currently a 0341, Mortarman in the USMC. I enlisted in Oct. 2007 and will be getting out in Oct 2012. Im in need of some advice. I have high aspirations for going back to school; it’s all I want. My high school GPA was below par, 2.7 to 3.0. I have yet to take the SATs, which I will study for extensively and take sometime this year, and have no doubt that i will do well.

As far as what I want in my education, im debating between kinesiology major, or a double major, with kinesiology and econ or business. After i recieve my BA/BS, I will apply for grad school to recieve my MBA. With a below average high school GPA, along with a year quarters at a CC (pretty good grades there), what should i do?

I was thinking about going to a Cal State school (as im a California resident), then xfering to a big name school, an Ivy league would be best. Im all about being competitive for schools. Or is there a possibility, SAT depending, that I would apply straight out to a high teir school.

Thanks for your time.
