Hi. I graduated from hs in may and my overall gpa was pretty low. In the summer of my junior year, i became interested in college and tried to increase my grades to improve my chances at admission. However, I am quite poor and can’t pay for college so I am contemplating joining a branch of the military for a couple years to save up money. I was thinking about trying to become a programmer in the army since i wanted to major in computer science. My question is how do college determine admission when you leave the military? How much will my hs gpa, test scores, and extracurriculars matter if i want to apply to a nice college? Also, will i get credit in college for some of the training i do in the army? Thank you very much for any answers.
