ROTP with a GED

[Drahx]

I left school early to work, got my GED later on with a very high score.
if I go through Academic upgrading on 6 university level courses to cover
my pre-req's for RMC, and score highly, will I be able to attend with ROTP?

I had a similar situation and I was accepted in the ROTP entry plan to attend a civilian university. I don't know if anything has changed in the last year, but during my interview the interviewer stated that I would not have been eligible to attend RMC because I had to have a high school diploma to be considered. I did not want to attend RMC and I did not list it as any of my choices so it didn't matter to me.

Did you complete the pre-requisite high school courses or join as a mature student?

I did not take the high school courses prior to applying ROTP. I completed my GED, applied to a University, did similar courses (13 in total) in university (Physics, Calculus, English, etc.) and then applied ROTP. Completing the high school courses seemed like a step backwards to me since my goal was to complete a university degree, not a high school degree.
