College graduate OCS track to aviator

Hello all,

I am a recent college graduate from UCSD with a degree in aerospace engineering. I was a transfer student for the first 2 years, took some time off to work, and had a little trouble along the way, but I managed to get a 3.2 GPA overall, and about the same GPA in major coursework. Eyesight is 20/15 in one, 20/40 in the other. I am 6' 1.5", and in extremely good physical shape. I am 26 years old. I do not have any civilian flight experience, but I have seen that that doesn't really matter in the overall rating if I'm right.

I see a lot of people posting on here about ROTC and such or the naval/AF academies. I did not take that track. It is to my understanding after searching around that many of the pilot slots go to graduates of the naval or air force academy. What accomplishments would I need at OCS/OTS or elsewhere to maximize my chances of becoming either a naval or airforce aviator.
