Well, I finally got my word tonight. I was also Prorec N. My recruiter was empathetic and told me he was very surprised I wasn’t selected. He reiterated a lot of what I’ve read on this thread. Selections were the lowest he’d seen in years and wasn’t sure what they were looking for. He told me if I had been on the November board I would have been a shoe in. He encouraged me to try again. I’ll be finished with my masters in leadership at the end of March. I’ll be resubmitting for the June SWO board. He also encouraged me to get a few additional letters of rec since I only submitted 1 with my first package. Good luck everyone with your future endeavors!

Wait there is a June SWO board??

Congrats!
Wow, it almost seemed like OAR had no bearing on whether the candidate got selected. Maybe highlight the Ys with green and the Ns with red?

for the most part OAR just gets you to the board, so your statement is fairly accurate.

N – Not professionally recommended/Not best qualified by the community requested.
Y – Professionally recommended. There is no further action is required on the member’s part. This is not a select at this point. There are two Yes votes required to be final selected. One vote comes from the community boards (which the Y represents). Next, Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) will now send your medical documents through the medical review process here at NRC for commissioning standards. Once Physically Qualified (PQ) letter is issued we will forward your recommendation to the director of OCS Accessions here at NRC for final review and final vote. If final vote, this is the second vote, is given for selection than your command will be notified via email form the OCS desk here at NRC with Select letter, OCS class date and Service Agreement for the designator that you were final selected for. 
ALT – ALTERNATE SELECTEE

My question is there a final vote on this? I interpret this as a PROREC -N however, I was wondering how do you guys interpret the explanation paragraph? It's really confusing!

That is only when if you were selected then your medical will be reviewed and be voted on. So unfortunately if you recieve a N. This would not apply to you. Do not stop trying I guess this is the lowest quota board their has been in a while. Keep trucking!

It's a general blurb. I asked Mr. Paul in November about the alternate selectee part. It means nothing.

The first sentence pretty much gives it away...

Any predictions/speculation on how selective the next board will be? I know no one has a definitive answer but since last board was 70% and this one was less than 30% do y’all think next one should be in between or should we expect a trend of low selection for awhile?

My recruiter said "we could keep you here and move your ship date back. But the next board will have the same if not lower selection rates"

Idk if that's just his speculation but hes been an OR for 9 years so I trusted what he said.

 

[R.Dougie]

I was told to expect possibly lower selection rates.

I was told to expect possibly lower selection rates.

Do you think that’s for all boards or just for the SWO ones?

the last time SWO was in this situation the way they fixed it was to skip a few boards, of course if the over-selections they have had are not too bad they could keep selection rates low in hopes that gets them back to where they want to be.
