I have a Civil Engineering (Bachelor & Masters) degree with a 3.2 GPA. I have my EIT, and have passed the Civil/Structural PE exam. Prior service (AD Army). LOR's were all from engineering/construction professionals. I interviewed with an LT in person, and had a phone interview with a CPT (both seemed to go pretty well, but I never asked the recruiter what they thought of me). I'm fairly old at 31 too....

I think the EIT thing was a pretty big deal. Neither of them had an EIT, but one had a Phd, and the other had tons of construction management experience. From what I gather, these professional certs are a big deal.

**I passed my PE exam after my packet was resubmitted, so they did not know this**

I had previously applied as well, back in 2012, right after graduation from my Bachelors program. I had no experience or my EIT. I didn't stand a chance.

I'm 27 now and my package is in to the July 2017 board. Now I've got land surveying experience (~2 years) and Mechanical Design experience (2 years at a company that design medical devices). My EIT, and a Masters degree in Mechanical (3.7/4.0). I've got strong references (3 work and 2 character from retired CEC Captains). And I got a 61 on my OAR.

I know I've got a better shot than I did in 2012 but I know its an extremely competitive program.

Sounds like you should have a pretty solid application. I didn't have to take the OAR, but i'm not sure what programs require that.

Congrats Otter and EMS!

I'm curious, do you guys have any stats on the that board? Number of applicants, number of people selected, etc?

I think about 20 people got picked up this time around but it seems like that was for both CEC and collegiate (I'm not sure if DCO is different though). Don't know how many people applied.

DCO is different and a completely different set of rules, this is the thread for AD

My OR said 30 packages may take 2 days to go through and then usually about a week after. I am kind of on edge during this waiting period but I don't want to get real worried. If I expect to not get picked rather than expect it so I can only be relieved when the word comes down.

I also applied to the 13Apr2020 board, I spoke to my OR late last week and he said he hasn't seen the board results posted yet but was expecting it any day. Seeing how the three week mark was yesterday, I'm interested in seeing if any of you other applicants have heard back yet on results.

I heard back the day after the board met.
