Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere:
-I'm applying to airforce/navy/army HPSP, with airforce as my number one choice. What are my chances for those?
-If I had to pick one school to attend it would be UF, however, I know they accept VERY little out of state students so I didn't apply. Do I have enough chance of getting into UF to warrant paying another couple hundred bucks and applying there as a reach/dream school?
-I know it isn't the worst, but is the 19GC a dealbreaker?
-Are there any schools on my list that you think I shouldn't be applying to? Any schools that I don't have that I should add?
-Anything that my application is weak in? If I continue to volunteer and shadow this next year, can I add these experiences to my application?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I look forward to reading all of your advice/criticism!
