Who did your interviews? And who did your LORs? Not to be the bearer of bad news, but unless you're prior enlisted or have some letters from senior Intel officers your chances of getting selected are fairly slim. NOPO put out at the last board that selection rate averaged around 17%. There's two civilian applicants on this forum who have been selected, but both I believe either had JDs or PhDs on hand.
I talk to students with poli sci degrees around a 3.0-3.5 (maybe even higher) who want to go Intel. Not prior enlisted either. It's an extremely competitive program with most folks selected either active or prior enlisted. If you really want to go Intel down the road you can always go Pilot/NFO/SWO, get your foot in the door and meet the right folks, and apply for a lateral transfer package down the road.
Rufio, thanks for the feedback. I certainly appreciate the long odds after seeing the selection rates, and more importantly the type of applicants being selected, on the recent IDC boards. I'm realistic that my background isn't the strongest I've seen on this forum: non-priors with no tech degree or language skills are a dime a dozen. Unfortunately, as NavyOffRec said above, I'm almost 30 and thus ineligible for any other community (first walked in to my recruiter's office six months before turning 29 - not enough time to get through to a commission before that crucial date).
I figure an advanced degree is all but essential and that's why I'm moving in that direction at the same time. However, I also figure it's worth giving it one more shot with the best package I can put together right now, given that it'll be two-plus years before I can improve that aspect of my credentials.
As far as the "who" question, I don't have any personal or professional connections to senior intel officers so my added LORs are coming from community folks - local elected official, church, etc. (my original set of LORs were mostly professional colleagues and supervisors so I have that angle covered). I am working to arrange interviews with senior officers from the IDC community, though.
It would be easy to give up between the low probability of selection and the not-insignificant time investment on my end to get everything done, but I genuinely believe my packet will better communicate why I am a good candidate. And if it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be worth doing!
