Sorry about my delayed response. But I was busy actually accomplishing something else in life, other than making cheap insults to individuals in vulnerable positions. Why are you even a member of the army forum? Obviously ur not a CF member AT ALL, and are probably an overweight white bread son of a POG, with no idea of what combat is truly all about.
To provide a more accurate explanation of my 'crappy marks', the basis of my question isn’t because I am not 'capable' of memorizing all the logarithmic tables in order to get a 95%, but rather would suffice meeting the requirements of getting an 70-80% WHILE earning a self-employed student income which probably doubles your own, right now. As for my high school marks, no. they were deff NOT good enough for ROTP. By age 18 I was operating a 5 employee business, and made more than my prof's. I was lucky if I made it to class 1/2 the time.. But I still pulled off 70's. Therefore there was not alot of motivation TO study. By age 19, I had a fully operating non-profit boxing club with over 12 amateur fighters, and that also tied up most of my time.
When it comes down to selecting WHO will be the most effective infantry platoon leader (what I’m applying into). I’m pretty sure the most important aspect is NOT who can recite the most passages from grade 12 Shakespeare.
The reason I posted this thread, as I was wondering weather I should sacrifice my fitness, combative, and leadership training in order to ensure a University 90%.. OR just slide by a 70% + have alot more applicable infantry skills/experience in my background..
Thanks for the helpful comments otherwise guys. I’m am confident that my DEO app will be accepted based on my pervious combat experience, and I'm sure my 'resume' will more than accommodate 'non-competitive' previous average. I'll probably just run an 80 for the next 2 years, and be content with that.
