Title: Bad grades, no nuke?
Post by: ggnuke on Jul 25, 2013, 11:05
Just passed the nuke test few days ago, getting my transcripts together to turn in. Just wondering if any one knows if bad grades or dropped classes will keep me from reclassing to nuke. I dropped 1 math course due to work schedule and also failed a biology class. I remember my recruiter talking about science and math courses in general

I had like 1.9 GPA in college with tons of failed and dropped courses and still got into the Nuke program. This is what you have to do:
Pass the NFQT (which you said you already passed I think)
Get your recruiter to put in waivers for every grade below a C (or C- maybe) that was in a math or science course.
IF you didn't fail anything in high school just don't turn your college transcripts into the recruiter (my advice)
Once the waivers are in, you MIGHT have to interview with whatever nuke is in charge or your area, mine was over the phone and he asked me if i wanted to succeed and would work hard, i said yes, he said ok, then I went to MEPS and was in.

hope this helps

If the requirements are for providing all college transcripts, this is absolutely horrible advice and you are on your way to an integrity violation.

If the transcripts are not required, still be wary of this sort of advice.  Do the research and find out the actual, written in black and white requirement first-hand.

Good to see such a high caliber of individuals making their way through the pipeline.
