Green-to-Gold or OCS? Which makes more sense and why? Taking the green-to-gold route just prior to receiving a bachelor's degree, or taking the OCS route after having already received the bachelor's? Asking for myself, a SGT/E-5. Thanks in advance.

The best route for you to take to commission is the one that suits your lifestyle. Are you able to afford to be a broke college kid in ROTC? Are you capable of teaching yourself at your own pace to get a degree through distance learning while on AD? In the end a 2LT is a 2LT and no one knows or cares how you commissioned. It's like that saying, "What do you call a doctor who passed med school with C's?". You call them Doctor.

Majority of Ph.D. programs, including my current one, requires an 80% to pass.

SSG (Join to see) then for you, you can change the saying from C's to B's.

Way to work in a humble-brag into a post that has nothing to do with you or Graduate programs.

Either way is a path towards success.
I went the OCS route and made great friends in the process. Just keep pushing to better yourself and good things will come.
