&lt;P&gt;It would make more sense to me to go through OTS and get your comission.&amp;nbsp; Given the choice of going to the academy after college or going into a couple months of training for a comission, I would take the latter.&amp;nbsp; Putting yourself through the academy seems redundant to me.&amp;nbsp; Unless you want to do something in the AF that requires a different degree, I would go straight in.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>How crazy am I?</title><link>http://www.jets.dk/cs/forums/thread/3934.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Jan 2007 19:07:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a23efcf1-9e75-4ff9-be18-cd9cb68b9485:3934</guid><dc:creator>Psytherium</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.jets.dk/cs/forums/thread/3934.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.jets.dk/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=34&amp;PostID=3934</wfw:commentRss><description>Hello, I'm a Junior in college(Yes, you read that correctly) and I am
planning on seeking out a nomination and applying to the AFA. So, when
I graduate from my current university, I will start all over again.
Thankfully, I'll be under the maximum age limit. I'm majoring in
Computer Science, and will graduate--if all goes according to
plan--with a 3.8 GPA. I think it would be a little silly to major in CS
again, if at all possible, so I am thinking about Physics or
Aeronautical Engineering.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; At any rate, what are your thoughts
on this? There are a few reasons why I have waited so long to finally
apply, one being ignorance and others being certain things going on in
my life. With my situation, how much of my high school life will be
taken into consideration compared to my college life? Will both be
weighed equally? I graduated high school with a 3.89 and scored a 1420
on my SAT. I was on the varsity football team since 10th grade,
starting all 3 years and being a captain my junior and senior year. I
was also a part of several other extracurricular activities such as
theater, photography, student council, etc. In college, I've been very
active in intramurals, and in several extracurricular activities and
service projects with my fraternity.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; With all that being said,
will me being a college graduate have a negative or positive effect on
my application and selection process? Also, if I am admitted, will I
get credit for some classes since I've taken them at my current
university? Any
information and help is much appreciated. Thank you.</description></item></channel></rss>
