Getting in with a degree does not guarantee you will be an officer, if you fail to pass the basic tests that any soldier has to do and attain a certain standard in drill firearms medical standards, (Marines and parachute regiments are more strict than the others), you will be backsquadied to try again, then if you fail you will be 'binned', or offered a less demanding regiment. This applies to all ranks not just officer cadets who all do the same initial basic training. You would be amazed at the amount of 'two left feet brigade' that have degrees and get 'binned'.
