You need to earn darn good grades, take the Air Force Officer Qualification Test (AFOQT) and score really well on it, submit a bunch more application paperwork, then you are told if you have been accepted for pilot training BEFORE you sign your life away.
If you are really smart, you will earn great grades, score well on the AFOQT after you have found a guard or reserve unit to hire you and send you to pilot training!
Good luck,

So you can actually see if you will get a pilot slot before you decide if you want to go to OTS? Doesn't that sound a little too good to be true?
Also, on wantscheck it says:
Your chances of getting a pilot slot (and a commission in general) out of ROTC are much better than OTS.
How much better?
If I went ROTC without a scholarship, I would have until the end of sophomore year to make a decision if I wanted to stay or not -- right?
Thanks for all your help so far, guys
