I'm interested in the industry but I have some questions

@ultspud you could still get accepted to an academy with abysmal grades, even if it’s as a transfer student. Take some math and science classes at a community college and apply. The caliber of students at academies are not as high as you think. Just do the work. It will pay off many times for you in the end. An admissions counselor would love to see someone who did what they needed to do, anything, to get in.

Best of luck to the both of you!
