I'm currently interested in the Green to Gold ADO program. I still have a couple of years left before I finish my major. I have 28 college credits left to receive an associate degree. After this fiscal year, I will have 19 left and so forth. My plan is to apply in the year 2020 for the school year 2021. My only question is what can I do to make my application more competitive, I'm aware of improving my GT score, a high score on PT test, high GPA. Is there anything else I can do to make my application stand out more? For the ADO, do you use your own military education benefits while attending school or?

SPC Private RallyPoint Member Do you have Facebook? If so, you should join the G2G ADO page. There are a bunch of prospective applicants, current and former ADO cadets, and program admin who bring lots of knowledge to the table. Please consider joining:

I’m also applying this year, so to answer your question, try to make sure the things in your control (GPA, PT scores) are the best possible. Get good supporting letters of recommendation. And make sure your personal statement shows how much you want to serve as an officer.

Write your own reasons. Don't go with the geriatric (the same old sameo) comments.
