military GPA?

Question

i know that gpa is important and i know it will effect my chances at officers training but can i get in the military with a 1.7 to 2.0 gpa if not how high must it be p.s what are the requirments at west point

Answer 1

The application process for any of the academies is very stringent and highly competitive. A Google check for West Point entrance requirements would provide a world of information about them, I'm sure. You surely understand that your GPA would most likely be unacceptable but grades are only part of the overall picture of a potential cadet. Again, those requirements should be posted on the West Point website. There are other avenues to becoming an officer such as ROTC, enlist then apply for OCS, etc. It's not an easy task to become an officer but it's certainly not impossible if you're up to the challenge. Good Luck.

Answer 2

if you are looking at attending any of the military Academies, you must have at least a 3.5 High School GPA with a strong College Prep background. as much higher Math and Science as was offered at your high school. If you are a senior in High School it is too late to do anything. As a Junior, it is almost too late.

If your 1.7-2.0 GPA is a College GPA, you are BELOW the minimum standards for acceptance(2.5), and for all practical purposes, you need at least a 3.5 or higher to be competitive.

Answer 3

Hate to tell you this, but that's not going to make you competitive at all for an officer training spot, especially not at the academy.

Chris ~ ROTC won't take a GPA that low. Right now his only choice is probably enlisting, completing college on his own time, and then applying for OCS.
