Hello everyone, I was hoping to get some feedback on my chances at Navy OCS. I'm putting both SWO and Intel as my choices. I'm open to both, but would prefer Intel, however I know how competitive it is. I figure if I happened to get picked up for SWO, I could always try and lateral if I still wanted it down the line (I know even here too, its still competitive). Here are my stats:
-B.A. International Affairs from, cum laude with departmental distinction. GPA: 3.68
-J.D. From a a top 30 law school, 2.62
-OAR: 45 (I took it on short notice (three days) as I'm trying to hit the closest board).
-Age: 26, male (minority)
I understand that my OAR, while passing, isn't "competitive" as far as scores go. I have good letters of recommendation, from state representatives, officers, and one from someone who has a position with the International Criminal Court. I'm already working in the legal field and don't have any interest in pursuing JAG while in the military. I'd appreciate any feedback and candidness as I'm hoping to use this as a measure of what my recruiter tells me. I'm still going to submit my packet, regardless of initial OAR score and if I'm not picked up this time, retake and try again a month from now. Thank you.
