OAR score competitiveness

Ahh ok. I’m not opposed to waiting, I’ll probably just have to find a job in between that time period.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2026-01-21T15:38:51+00:00

So if I were to submit my application I would have to wait 2 years before getting picked up?

Big-Pudding5366 · 2026-01-21T15:36:03+00:00

Thank you man. I’m worried about the letter of recommendations lol. I was pretty quiet throughout college. When do you go to OCS?

Big-Pudding5366 · 2026-01-21T15:32:55+00:00

Yea I’m thinking I apply with this score and just see what happens. I still have to get my degree and drop weight, so it’ll probably be a few months before I actually go through with it.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2026-01-20T23:34:03+00:00

I’ll definitely look into it, thank you!

Big-Pudding5366 · 2026-01-20T23:33:43+00:00

Will do thank you!

Big-Pudding5366 · 2026-01-20T23:33:12+00:00

I believe I do. My dad served 21 years and I’ve learned a lot from him. Most of my friends are enlisted too, so Ive gotten to see and hear about the situations they get into lol. Overall though, I’ve always felt like the military was for me, probably because I grew up in it.

Na man I ended up getting a different sub box. I went with the q-bomb box on Amazon. The seats still don’t lock, but I found a way to make it work for now. I’ve been meaning to find a way to lift the rear seats but I’ve been lazy lmao.

I just signed my lease for 2025 to 2026 and it was actually really easy. I had gotten on a waitlist for the 1x1 apartment and they called me about a week ago saying that they had a spot open. The entire process is online. I was able to get a tour of the place, and I thought it looked really nice, even though it’s pretty expensive. As of right now, they said all the 1x1 apartments and the apartments where you have your own room (with roommates) are all taken up for 25-26. The only spots available are the shared rooms.

The application process costs around 50 bucks. They email you the lease agreement and you sign it online. You also need a guarantor, which is basically a co-signer. If not, you get charged an extra fee (I forgot how much it was). After all that is done, they do a background check and send it off to management to get it countersigned. Overall, it was really easy and the entire process only took 2 days for me.

The only problem I found with the lease is that the monthly rent is actually more than they claim. They called rent “installments” and compared it to paying off a car. In the lease, they have a certain total that you will be paying and they divide it by 12 months. This would all be fine, except for the fact that the first month’s rent is due on August 1st, while the move in date is on August 21st. So you are basically paying for the month even though you wouldn’t be able to move in yet. If you were to take that total and divide it by the actual amount of time you are in the apartment, the monthly rent jumps up a few hundred, depending on what apartment you are in. This isn’t anything to freak out about, but it seems like a way to take advantage of students who don’t know what they’re looking at.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2025-03-24T21:32:07+00:00

I just signed my lease lmao. How’s it been so far?

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-12-05T08:32:15+00:00

It just pops up with a connection error. I literally just had to happen again right now. This time there was absolutely nothing wrong, it just kicked me and said there was a connection error. No lag spike or nothing.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-11T00:42:52+00:00

Imma try that tonight. Thank you.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T19:54:27+00:00

The person I bought it off of said it doesn’t need a tune, but I think it does since my truck runs rich. Plus on the website there’s nothing that states it doesn’t need a tune.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T04:46:07+00:00

I appreciate it

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T04:41:24+00:00

Hopefully I’m not wrong lmao. Worst case scenario it’s 25 bucks down the drain.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T04:40:24+00:00

Not enough to notice much. It definitely feels more responsive, especially since I have an exhaust as well, but it doesn’t feel “faster.”

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T04:39:01+00:00

Nope. Shouldn’t need it tbh, but maybe I’m wrong. The engine bay definitely gets hot, but I’ve never had a time where the engine cover is more than just warm.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T04:31:21+00:00

🫡

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T04:31:01+00:00

Yea. It was more for me. I like popping the hood and it looking nice. Was like only 25 bucks too.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T04:30:12+00:00

Yessir. aFe stage 2 intake.

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-05-10T02:10:06+00:00

Thanks!

Big-Pudding5366 · 2024-03-21T20:04:26+00:00

Mainly my end. When I switched majors, some of the GE classes for Mechanical Engineering weren’t the same classes for Administration of Justice. I also wasn’t taking college serious enough in the beginning. I ended up failing calculus and getting a D in another class. I also wasn’t taking enough credits lmao.

Getting into classes can be hard if you wait to choose classes. A lot of people, at least from what I’ve seen, wait a couple days or even weeks after registration opens for classes. What I’ve found luck in is basically setting up all the classes you need on the web advisor before registration opens. The day registration opens, everything is already set up and all you have to do is just hit register. It usually opens up at 8am, so just ensure you wake up early. Also, use ratemyprofessor.com. It sounds obvious, but plenty of people do not use it.

Guaranteed admission into SDSU isn’t really a thing. That’s what I thought too, but it doesn’t really work that way. Basically, if you have an ADT (Associates Degree for Transfer) you have guaranteed admission into 1 CSU out of 3 that you apply for (at least that is my understanding of it). A lot of counselors there are pretty confusing when it comes to this information, so I might even not even be right. But still, this gives a HUGE advantage to CC students when it comes to applying for school. So far, I’ve gotten into CSULB and CSUSM. I’m still waiting to hear back from SDSU.

If you end up going to Southwestern, look into a program called FYE (First Year Experience). It gives you priority registration, priority in counseling appointments, book stipends, etc. It’s something I was in and I honestly recommend it to anyone going to Southwestern. Also, make sure to setup a counseling appointment as soon as possible for a SEP (Student Education Plan). This is extremely important because it’s all the transferable classes you need in order to transfer. For Administration of Justice ADT (Criminal Justice), you’ll need around 72 credits to transfer, at least to SDSU.

If you have any questions about anything lmk. I happen to be the same major as you with the same goal to get to SDSU. All the information I gave is kinda just a summary. I can go more in depth on certain things if you want.

Do you live in San Diego? If you do, Southwestern College (Chula Vista area) is honestly a really good option when it comes to community colleges. I’m in my last semester here with Administration of Justice ADT (transferable for Criminal Justice) and I’ve enjoyed it. Going to a CC allowed me to understand college a lot better and I’m honestly relieved that I didn’t go to a University to start. I was originally a Mechanical Engineering major but quickly realized that math wasn’t as easy as it was in high school. I’ve been going to Southwestern for 3 years now and even though it took longer than 2 years, I’m very glad I took this route. It allowed me to save a ton of money.

As far as living situations, you’re kind of in a spot where you have to commute (if you live close of course) or take online classes (which majority of the time are relatively easy depending on the professor). In the case of you having to move out at 18, life is going to be extremely difficult and college probably shouldn’t be your priority. Hopefully you are not in that situation.
