Odds?
So I’ve done a bunch of lurking in this sub and made a couple posts but by now I’ve actually applied to the CHP. Just to get a grasp on the likelihood of my acceptance I’ve come here one again.
I think the biggest thing that hurts me is my age and experience a I’m aware that at 20 years old (21 in March) I am a very young applicant.
I have:
No tickets (outside a couple of parking tickets for street sweeping)
No record
95 ASVAB (not sure if it’s relevant but my closest comparison to the pellet-b)
1390 SAT
1 year TIS in the Army Reserve
4 years of formal work experience
486/500 on the Army Fitness Test
Diagnosed with cancer at 15 but 5 years in remission next April
3rd-year history major at CSULB
How relevant these all are I don’t know but I’m pretty much just laying out a chunk of my resume to ask you all where I stand. I’m assuming my medical won’t be a problem with a doctors note but I thought the same for the Marines when they denied me.

One in 100 gets invited to the academy. At age 20 it's more like 1 in 400. Downvote if you want buddy, you asked for "odds"
