I agree with GRDHound's advice. I have been on two pilot selection boards for my unit. Personality is one of the most important attributes. We are looking for someone who we will deploy with, (and possibly go to war,) so we don't want to hire any tools. Also, if you have ties to the community, that is a plus (e.g. born/raised/family nearby, or a strong desire to live there.)

GPA was one of the least important things I considered in candidates.

BTW, I know that you want to build flight time, but that should be secondary to serving your country. You will be in the military, and that is not to be taken lightly. If building flight time is your first priority, please don't waste everyone's time, and go to a regional instead of the Guard/Reserves. Be honest with yourself about this.
