Officer GPA?

[Vheissu171]

I was wondering if the Navy requires a certain GPA that I have to graduate college with in order to be considered? I know that the Air Force requires at least a 3.0, so I wasn't sure about the Navy

I don't know of a "minimum" GPA to apply besides that which would be deemed competitive. But your question may be better answered by the search function. Good luck.

I have a 2.91 GPA from UF and the AF was ok with that. I think the AF minimum is 2.75, ...it could even be 2.9, but my 2.91 was good enough.

As for the Navy, I heard of some people with low GPAs (~2.4) that were selected still. It depends on your total package, their needs, and what designations you apply for. Of course the higher the better for GPA and ASTb scores, but only the selection board knows how you'd do at any given time.

In short: yes there is a minimum GPA (I don't know what it is; maybe ~2.0 to 2.4?). -Just keep your GPA up and hope for the best.

I had:

Freshman year: 3.8

Sophmore year: 1.9 (got a TR-4, started smoking, discovered wine/women/and/song ... )

Junior year: 2.8

Senior year: 3.5

I got into the NAVAIRTRACOM ... got good grades ... got jets ... had some good times ...

Then .... MBA: 3.8

Then ... I got out ... got hired by the airlines ... flew the 727/DC-10/747 for > 29 years ... got out ....

Am now resting gracefully by the sea ....

It can be done w/ attitude and determination. I highly recommend it.

Useless responses really don't need to be put especially after someone already puts use 'search function'.

Geez, I must have missed the part of the FAQs that made you the Posting Police on what's useless and what's not. So, what do you think of A-4s response on this topic? Take him on, dare ya.

The minimum GPA to submit your package to the board for NAVAIR is 2.5 ...don't ask how I know.

2.5 is the minimum to commission from NROTC. At least that's what my adviser keeps telling me.

Competitive GPA

Actually, my recruiter showed me a binder with all the designators and a list of the average GPA and ASTB scores of applicants which were selected. He told me these were the scores that were considered 'competitive' for that designator. Pilot was like 3.54, and 7/7/7 58 or something like that. Ask your recruiter, he might have the same thing.
