Congrats!!!!That's so awesome!
We did it
Out of curiosity, what did you change in your package for this board?
This was my first time applying actually.

Oh my bad. Thought you applied for the March board for some reason. Congrats again! Kick ass at OCS! Beware of shin splints.
I feel you. My recruiting office is closed on Fridays, so I can’t find out anything.

I wonder why, was your motivational statement tailored to SWO? Did you put them #1? They seem to be GOBBLING up prior service and AD

I see your good GPA and OAR which is the primary concern of the OCS boards. I'm likewise baffled.
Maybe INTEL would for sure take you? The Russian certainly helps.
SWO was my first pick, followed by Intel. I'm a non-prior. I did not tailor my motivational statement to SWO given that I had applied to multiple designators. I had also already submitted my package before I learned that the board was looking for SWO-centric statements.
Just stopping by to say CONGRATS dude! I was rooting for you since I stumbled this thread when I started looking around in the site and start studying! Good job man and thanks for the motivation.

I’m sorry to hear that. Did someone check for you -no need to name names- I’m just having no luck with my OR (he has checked but no luck on results).
Will someone check for me if possible- Camille Tara
Not entirely confident about that; in prior boards, selectees have had much higher OAR scores and education beyond a bachelors degree. I do want people to learn from my experience, though; I think what had a negative impact on my package was the lack of letters of recommendation and extracurricular activities in college. I worked full-time throughout college doing HVAC in a family business, and from my experience with talking to other prospective employers, it is commonly looked down upon to do that to the point where you will not be taken seriously. Beyond what I just wrote, I'm not going to speculate too much. Glad that I gave it a shot and hope people on here have better luck. I'll be checking out. Best wishes)
