Some context: I’m 28 years of age with 80 credits (2.3 GPA) towards a biology degree. Have a lot of science and math done.

Just enlisted as a 68C. I have two questions. What are the chances I finish my degree during my contract? Does any of the AIT training count for substantial college credit?

Just trying to figure out my best route as I don’t think I’ll qualify for any of those special programs (aecp, ipap) due to my gpa and age. Thank you!

There is no credit for 68C. If you go to a school that specifically accepts ACE recommendations for credit, then within your specific degree program your college may grant you some credits, if they so choose.

As for your degree program, you can definitely finish 40 credits in a few years. AMEDD accepts lots of age waivers, but your GPA is not at all competitive for any of those programs.

If I may suggest, don’t focus so much as to how many credits you may or may not get for completing your AIT training as those could be elective credits, depending on the University. I recommend you focus on raising your grade point average and completing your program your stated. A low GPA can prevent you from applying to graduate level education. If you are staying in the medical field, you may consider completing more than just a BS to stay competitive with your peers.

I got credit for my first year of nursing school when I started my RN program, simply because I was an LPN. As far as everything else, I got nothing. No A&P, no pharmacology, nothing. Any additional questions, feel free to message me. Happy to help out. Are you going active or reserve?
