i will answer this question again.

don't join anything if you want to be a Ranger. wait until you CAN be a Ranger, then join the Army to be a Ranger.

As long as you have not signed a contract you may wait and get infantry.

if you are a junior, you have to wait until you have finished this year and join during the summer before your senior year.

of course you won't leave until you graduate.
