Waiting is all part of the game. I thought I was going to be up for the november boards then had a bunch of issues and then some more and Jan turned to March. But the prize at the end of the road makes all the waiting worth it. G'luck to you all and trust me the time between now and the board will go by faster than you think

Just hoping I can get into the April Boards. I applied in Nov, took the ASTB mid Dec and still haven't been promised April's Boards. Applying SNA only:
-6/6/7 55
-3.1 in Finance at Kentucky
-No LOR for former/active service members (LORs from current boss, HS basketball coach, teachers and professors)
-Apparently my motivational statement is good
-Played basketball and football in HS
-Held several positions in my fraternity (Rush Chair being the biggest)
-Can eat 10 skyline cheese coneys in one sitting
That last one was a joke. I'm hoping that all this waiting was for some crazy reason and everything works out.

Hey guys, So I've pushed back my package as well (I was supposed to be ready for March boards) Here are my stats, let me know what you guys think. I'm going for SWO and Supply
21 Yrs old.
I graduate in May for North Carolina State University
Business Administration degree with a concentration in Human Resource Management
GPA: 2.8
OAR: 46
LOR's: from people who knew me as a leader, former principal, CEO of the company I currently work for (multi-million dollar company), Former Navy Officer, Vice President of HR at Duke University
I had an interview with a current Capt, and he strongly recommended me for OCS, and for my capabilities as a Naval Officer.
My Extra-curricular include Varsity Football quarterback, captain lacrosse team, Vice President of the HR club at NCSU, I work 30 + hours at my current company (Property Management company) and I'm in charge of 11 Properties, and over 1,700 Residents and their leases.
I haven't taken my PRT yet, but right now I'm sitting at about 50pu, 70su, and 11:30 1.5 mile run.
My OR said that my motivational statement and my extracurriculars might be what pushes me through.

Welcome to our lil crew! I grew up a few blocks from Temple U and did a summer internship there for chemistry and Biology research my 10th, 11th, and 12th grade year in H.S. Anyway… seeing that your in my hometown, I am going to help you out a bit.
I should suggest that you seek interviews from some senior officers to bolster your chances; your GPA is competitive as per general standards, but is at the bottom of that spectrum and your OAR trails significantly your civilian counterparts (most have 50s and above).
If you choose to get those interviews, Ship Systems Engineering Station (SSES) located at the Philadelphia Naval Business Center (formerly Naval Station Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard). I am sure you could find some senior SWOs there (or in that area) to improve your odds. SWO acceptance ratio was about 22% for Feb (not sure about March, but I’m sure its similar) and is the most competitive community out of the 3 you have listed (aviation community acceptance is between 55% and 70%). Good luck!

thanks
thanks for the info..
That's interesting about the SWO acceptance ratio. Do you have any idea why it is more competitive that acceptance in aviation?
Also, when you say interviews for SWO, what do you exactly mean? I am a bit confused as to what that means. And I am not familiar with anyone that works at the navy yard so would have no idea just how to go down there and start talking to people...haha.
thanks alot for your comments. Any more advice I would greatly appreciate.

Ask your OR to locate someone in the SWO community that is willing to interview officer candidates. I did mine with an XO of NROTC at a local university. Even if they are not nearby, a phone interview works too. That's how I did mine.
They (or at least mine) ask questions like "Why do you want to go SWO?" and "What qualities do you possess that make you think you would be a good officer?" and just general info about yourself, so they can get a better picture of you.
