Hey guys! I'm currently a junior in high school aiming to be a 67J in the Army. The time to apply for college and deciding what I'll major in is coming up, and I honestly still don't know what to major in. All I want to do is fly for the military, and maybe fly EMS helo's once I leave, but obviously that isn't a major. I've heard something in STEM may help my chances on getting branched into Medical Services, but I don't know what people who are looking to be pilots typically major in. Does anyone know what 67J's or 15A's typically major in?
Thanks to all that have answered so far! I'm really interested in chemistry, it's been my favorite class and I'm good at it, but I've been told so many times that it's extremely difficult in college and most end up with relatively lower GPA's ranging 2.8-3.2. I'm afraid my GPA would be on the lower end compared to others that majored in something a little easier and it'll end up really hurting me when it comes to the whole Order of Merit business.

Look at the aviation programs offered by Embry-Riddle in Arizona or Florida and Spartan in Oklahoma. They offer degrees that even if you were not selected for a military aviation program (it can be very competitive) you are a qualified Commercial Pilot upon completion.

I’m a 15A and I majored in Electrical Engineering. However, major is not necessarily the deciding factor. My peers are from various majors, not just STEM. The Oder of Merit List (OML) at your school of choice and the slots available for that MOS are what matter most. Focus on being the best student and cadet that you can be to enhance your chances of becoming a 67J. Best of luck to you!
