How much will my college transcripts affect my WOCS packet?

I’m filling out my Warrant Officer Application and my grades in college were not very good. I’m afraid if I turn in my College Transcripts it will hurt my chances of being selected? I have passed maybe half of my classes the 2 separate times I attended school. (On the bright side I’ve got a stellar track record on the military side of things.)

What do they call someone who finishes last in their class in medical school? Doctor.

Only the fact that you were conferred a degree has meaning for this. Most of the emphasis will be placed on your NCOERs and 1059s. When you fill out your military resume and list your professional military education, be sure to discuss how you have used that education to improve as a Soldier and how you apply it to your daily military activity

What he said. Also, they are certain WO MOSs that have academic prerequisites (for example, 880A- Marine Deck Officer- wants 3 semester hours each in Math and English), so they would be mostly focused on those specific grades. But try to do better in the future...promotion to CW3 is competitive...having a degree will only help! Good luck to you!

In my opinion, I don’t think it will hold much weight toward you being qualified for a warrant MOS. The board will be focused on your military experience to ensure that you meet the prerequisites. Many applicants have some sort of moral waiver, blemishes from school, or even infractions while in the military. You have to sell yourself as to why the warrant officer Cohort needs you. Speak to a senior Warrant for more clarity also, if you haven’t already.

I agree with Mr. Cooper. I will also add that the academic portion of WOCS is rough. Not exactly a MENSA Test, but it does require you to study. If you are worried at all about academics, do your absolute best during that portion. If not, then don’t be worried about college grades.
