Medical waivers have no bearing as the board only looks at your professional items, so you don't need to let people know you have a medical waiver, other waivers do come into play.Hello, I will be applying for this board as well. Stats are:

Hey!! I just found out today that I was selected and I have the exact same major and a similar GPA along with age. I also scored a 52 on the OAR! I did have some strong recommendations from retired and active duty SWOs. I think you have a good chance though!Hello, I will be applying for this board as well. Stats are:

What limiting factors do other waiver hold? If you don't mind elaborating on that. Time in service...age..oar?Medical waivers have no bearing as the board only looks at your professional items, so you don't need to let people know you have a medical waiver, other waivers do come into play.

@exNavyOffRec How much do letters of recommendation weigh in the selection decision for this designation? In prior SWO board threads, you mentioned that the committee briefly scans through motivational statements. Are LORs treated the same way? Are they viewed at all in most cases for civilian candidates who obviously do not have any appraisals? I am a bit concerned because I have been out of college for 2 full years now so I wasn't able to get in touch with any of my college professors. Thus, I had to ask my current employer for a LOR and he did not seem too thrilled by my potential departure. I would say this is the weakest element of my package as it is one I didn't have much control over than I would've liked.
