Hello,
I've done research and asked a couple of recruiters, but I still have questions, so I hoped someone here would be able to help!
I'm a Sophomore at Hunter College in NYC. According to the Air Force website, my college does not have the ROTC program, but it is part of the CUNY (City University of New York) system, and several of those colleges DO participate in ROTC through a cross-town agreement. Because of this, it would make sense if I could also apply to ROTC. Does anyone know if this is possible?
If ROTC IS an option, does anyone have any advice for getting in? I have over a 3.75 GPA and I'm in the Honors Program at my college. I don't know my major yet, but I know I'm double minoring in Chinese and Japanese (and I have a perfect 4.0 in both of these). However, it still sounds super competitive. Do I have a shot?
If ROTC is NOT an option, what are the downsides and benefits of each: joining the Reserves while still in college, and then trying to get a commission when I graduate, or just waiting until after college and going to OTS? And what are my chances of getting into OTS? My ultimate goal is to get a job with the FBI, so with that in mind, does anyone have any advice?
Sorry for the long post! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much!
