Starting AFROTC Sophomore year

I'm prior service and started school this fall. I am a pilot major and I'm unsure whether I want to go commercial or try and commission as a pilot through ROTC so I've been considering joining the AFROTC program at my college in the spring but it would conflict with my course schedule. Is it more advantageous to push one of the classes needed for my major back and start ROTC in the spring or just start ROTC as a sophomore in the fall. I want to be competitive and try to get a pilot slot in the end in order to weigh my career paths I mentioned earlier. Is it still possible as a sophomore or would I just be way too far behind.
