I got a spot with <3.0 GPA. I'm proof that a low GPA doesn't necessarily mean crap. You could be a 4.0 student but if the squadron can't stand to hang out with you, then your toast.
Personally I would rather take the 3.4 student that work 2 jobs and had to pay his own way thru school than the 4.0 student that did no work, but school and had mom and dad pay for everything. The time management skills of balancing jobs and school will pay big dividends in UPT. Now there are those who do work and get a 4.0, good on them, if they are a good dude, I would love to have them in the squadron. But I know that that is not always the case and can cut the dude some slack.
Goodluck
