Okay, first of all my preference is NUPOC but I would gladly go for BDCP as well. I just want to post my specific situation and get some opinions of what is reasonable for me to hope for.
I am currently a sophomore at U. of Illlinois who is majoring in bioengineering/economics. There are some positive and negative factors affecting my chances of being accepted to NUPOC or BDCP. First, I will list the positives. I am a National Merit Semifinalist, which only the top half of the top 1% of those taking the SAT become, and I have a 33 ACT. I am also in very good shape (a sub 6 minute mile, 100+ consecutive pushups).
That's it for the positives. lol. Now, there are some negatives. First, am a permanent resident, not a citizen. I've lived in the US since I was 9 (now I'm 20) and could become a citizen at any time though. So I don't know how that would sit with the military, especially regarding NUPOC. Second, my GPA is BAD. Right now after 3 semester its at around a 2.8 although at the end of this semester it should be near a 3.0. I don't know, but freshman year I had to work nearly 40hrs a week and this year work also, so I dunno whether that would ameliorate the GPA in the eyes of selecton board. Third, thanks to a bastard rich neighborhood cop, I have a "disorderly conduct" on my record for throwing a stick of all things.
So, in your esteemed opinions, is my situation at all compatible with wanting to joing NUPAC (preferably) or BDCP?
