Thank you I need it!Goodluck!
I just rewrote the motivational statement, and added a LOR from a friend who recently became a SWO.You did a completely new package? I reached out to Mr. Celestin,he told me to submit updated items with a letter to the board. I have both minus appraisals that'll be done this week.
I did the same thing to my package as well.I just rewrote the motivational statement, and added a LOR from a friend who recently became a SWO.

They've only been SWO for about half a year. Of the other LORs (6 of them) two are from professors, one is a former boss, and two are executives at a national security focused DC think-tank I worked at. I was told that 5-7 LOR was an acceptable range, so I got there and didn't ask for more.How long have they been SWO? How many LOR's do you have and who did you get them from (i.e. manager, co worker, etc...no need for specifics of course)?

Oh boy, this is literally the first I've heard about a reconsideration letter. Recruiter failed to mention that at all, is it required/the standard procedure for a second application?Not bad, you should be in good shape then. Your other stats seem solid as well. Are you only applying for SWO now? Did you tailor your motivation statement around SWO if so? Lastly, make sure that your reconsideration letter is well written. It will help greatly!

Yeah, got my package in just after Thanksgiving. Do you know if it's at all possible to add something to the application without having to withdraw it in its entirety and then re-submit it?I dont think that it is required, but I think that its helpful. Its a great way to give a short synopsis on changes to your packet. My recruiter made me type one up for my second application. Have you already submitted?

Also thanks for the help, really appreciate it
Nope, luckily no waivers.I think that withdrawing and resubmitting is more headache than its worth so your recruiter will probably advise against it. You could ask anyway if you want. I'm very surprised he/she didn't ask you to type one one up. Did you have to submit any waivers by chance?
Nope, luckily no waivers.
I am surprised you didn't get picked up the first time around, I can only think of 1 instance where I had a person with a high GPA and no issues not get selected on the first board they submitted to.My package got sent in a few weeks ago for this date.
Second time applying, 55 OAR, 3.7 GPA, 23
