Good afternoon,
My name is Michael Linton and I am an Army MS1 Cadet at Cornell University. My current GPA is 4.0 and I have a 300 PT score. I am worried moving forward about maintaining my GPA and was wondering what GPA would be considered safe to get Active Duty. I do not plan on slacking off, and just wanted to get an idea of it since Cornell can get very competitive grades wise moving forward.
What can I do to help secure that active duty offer?
Thank you,
Michael L.

This is old data, but this is what I was told; that my degree and the school I graduated from played a role in my selection for a RA commission with the associated active duty. My GPA and PT scores were ok (back in the day when 4.0 was the max). Might check with cadre and/or recruiting command.

I also had a 300 APFT, a 3.2 GPA, but got Recondo from LDAC, which improved my chances for Active Duty. Make sure you do very well at LDAC, get Recondo and even an overall E (if they still call it that) and you will be fine.

I’ve known guys with a 3.0 GPA, that were slotted for active duty. I’m not saying that you should ever drop that low, but having a 4.0 now has you off to good start.
