Will a masters degree help?

I’m a rising junior in undergrad mechanical engineering right now and want to go to OCS to be a fighter pilot. Best case scenario, I will graduate with anything between a 3.0 and a 3.3 unless I stay in undergrad for a 5th year(I’m not sure if I will) to retake some classes. Will I have a better chance of getting into OCS if I get a masters degree? I want to get one already but in aerospace engineering.

No. Focus on doing well in the ASTB exam. You asked a similar-ish question a few months back, did you ever contact a local recruiter?

Dude, I got into OCS on a flight contract with a GPA of 2.605 and a BS in Mechanical Engineering. The kicker is I had great ASTB scores. Follow @FormerRecruitingGuru's advice and knock the ASTB out of the park. Get the Navy to pay for your Masters.
