Hi All,
Just spoke with my OR and had a couple questions. The first is whether others who have applied for CW/Intel think I should retake the OAR. Took it first time and got a 52. A little below that 55+ line people seem to be targeting for IWC application. Has anybody else been around that score and retaken the test only to score lower?
As a former enlisted Crypto with solid test scores and evals I'm wondering if risking my 52 is worth it. Having the non-STEM and low undergrad (boosted by solid masters degree GPAs) are the biggest factors making me consider retaking it. Also, he said interviews/appraisals from officers are not needed for prior service applicants. I didn't see anything one way or the other in the PAs, but obviously don't want to hurt my package if getting them will improve my package. Thoughts?
