So I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me the significance of a GPA waiver and as far as if a board would look at it as a positive or a negative trait
I can't see how it would be a positive trait (effort for trying to get one maybe?). Regardless of a waiver (meaning that they will look at you below the mins, I'm assuming you mean), they will still look at the GPA, and I'd highly doubt someone with low GPA and a waiver would be looked favorably upon over someone with qualifying GPA, because they pushed for a waiver. If you have other stuff in your app that sets you ahead of the competition, then it will speak for itself, but your waiver definitely isn't going to be something that helps you. It would just get your application into the room. Not trying to be a dick here at all, just honest.So I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me the significance of a GPA waiver and as far as if a board would look at it as a positive or a negative trait
I have 2 in IT and Accounting I finished out with 2.85 and it’s for IP as of right now.
If you want to have a shot you need to look at designators that look at lower GPA's, IP is not one of those at all, the average GPA of those selected for pretty much any of the 18XX designators is 3.5 and you do not have a tech degree which is "preferred" and that means you better have one.
Look at aviation, maybe SWO
Thanks I am preparing for the SWO board as well
