In order (at least when I selected):
1) Needs of the Marine Corps.
2) Your grades.
3) Your 'wish list' (choice)
Everything in flight school is competitive.
Much of it is like life in general.
Do your best and you'll end up with options. Do poorly, or make bad choices, and your options will most likely be limited.
BUT - - in the end - - you can be number one in your class and if the Marine Corps needs pilots in a certain community - then that is where you will go as an example.
