I put down that I was class president for two years in high school and captain of a varsity hockey team. Also did lot's of community service. I don't think chess club in high school would add much weight to one's package but if it is something that qualifies as a leadership role, can't hurt right?

Hey guys,
I just stumbled upon this site recently and I figured that there would be no better place to ask.
As of right now, I'm a junior at the University of California-Berkeley. I'm studying Economics/Environmental Econ and am on track to graduate in the Fall of 2011. During this past summer I contacted the USMC office and talked to the OSO who informed me that I could in fact pursue a aviator contract in the corps despite being a junior. I've almost completed the application packet, pending a few letters of rec and other paperwork items.
My question comes here, how competitive is it to get a contract for PLC Aviation? My GPA is respectable, ~3.0, my letters of rec will definitely help my case and my PFT/PFA will be around 285 (Max pull up, max sit up, around a 20 minute 3 mile). Quick question for the aptitude test, I realize the better you do, the more competitive you'll be, but what is a "good" score to strive for?
How do my numbers look? I'm hoping to get a slot for this summers 10 week course and upon finishing that, finish school and agree to a aviation contract. I've been attending PT sessions with the Captain himself, along with other OCS and PLC recruits.
NOTE: I attended the USAFA for 40 days, completing Basic Cadet Training (BCT), but several issues at home caused for an unbecoming situation. I left, went to community college; applied for an AFROTC scholarship, got it, and then went to Cal. After a year of AFROTC, I felt that my needs were not being met. I wasn’t being pushed, I felt that the AF didn’t allow me to be the person I was meant to become and therefore left that program as well. UNDER BOTH PROGRAMS- I left voluntarily and have the paperwork to prove it. I feel that in my personal statement I will have a chance to portray my feelings as to why I wasn’t satisfied with the AF and why I feel the USMC is right for me.
If you guys can please help me out and give your opinions on the matter I would greatly appreciate it. I'm in no way promoting or deliberately hating on any of the branches of our military. Each has a specific mission and is justifiably tailored to the needs of that specific branch.
Thank you for your time,
Nickolas

that mike guy
JSUPT primary @ VAFB, Enid, OK
Pro-rec SNA Nov. 2010 board
also pro-recd for SWO, non-select for intel (though I suspect this is because my motivational statement was clearly written with the intent of flying and nothing else
). I wanted to put SNA as my only designator, but my OR told me I had to put 3.

BS Biomedical Engineering, Univ. Alabama @ Birmingham (2008) GPA ~ 3.1
MS (incomplete, not intending to finish at this time) Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering Univ. Alabama @ Birmingham (2010) GPA ~ 3.8
Extracurriculars: Delta Sigma Phi fraternity (undergrad and grad), about 6 different philanthropies that I participated in multiple times per year for about 4 years during college, JROTC drill/rifle team and color guard - 3 years in HS (numerous leadership positions here), cut off long hair and donated to Locks of Love (yes I put this)
Clean record other than a couple of speeding tickets over the years and one MIP that was dismissed.
LORs:
2 - USN O-6 - both retired S3 pilots now working in Washington (one turned airboss before retiring; this one has known me since birth)
1 - USA O-8 - retired; has known for ~8 years
1 - Professor (2 graduate school courses; A's in both)
1 - Former supervisor from a teaching/tutoring job for an electrical engineering course
pre-OCS PRT suspended so I dont have those exact numbers (because of a slip up I do know that I can meet the minimum required push-up/sit-up in less than half the allotted time with plenty of steam to keep going), but am in the best shape I have been in in a while.
also pro-recd for SWO, non-select for intel (though I suspect this is because my motivational statement was clearly written with the intent of flying and nothing else
