@cider1 Solid advice. I’m glad to hear you are doing so well after transitioning back! Hope everything worked out for you this year.

@Jrod0109 I had a similar experience. Average/below avg hs academics. Same thing for CC directly after HS. Went back to CC after the military and have sustained 4.0GPA since. I think what got me into other colleges was my personal essay (granted I only applied to private colleges through the commonapp).

So although your academic grades will play a factor, I think it’s important to show the school how you’ve changed post military and to sell yourself
