Hello Air Warriors,
Long time reader, first time poster. I'm currently in the process of applying for officer candidate school and am determined to become a Surface Warfare Officer. I take the ASTB next week, which should give me a bit more insight, but I wanted to post my stats and see what you guys think.
The Goods:
-25 year old male
-3.18 GPA with a double major in accounting and finance from a top State University
(not sure if looked at, but 3.5 in finance GPA and 4.0 on all Quant based courses)
-Internship experience in Investment Banking
-Working Experience in IT implementation consulting.
-Strong Letters from both Employers, a professor who was an officer in the AirForce, a Battalion commander, a friend who is currently an O3 in the Army, The CEO's of 2 non profit and volunteer foundations I worked with ( one of them is a national organization), College Wrestling Coach (club sport.... not NCAA), and high school football coach.
-Zero Criminal Record
-Zero Tattoos
The Bads:
-I'm probably going to need 3 medical waivers for previous things in my life. As a kid I had a broken collar bone, surgery on my right elbow( no hardware), and my doctor put me on anti depressants for 6 months during my parents divorce. I'm going to a doctor this week to receive a written statement for meps.
The Unknowns
- I take my ASTB next Saturday. I feel pretty confident in the OAR material. I have studied all the gouge I could on this site, bought the accepted book, as well as mastered everything in this book from 2004 at my local library. I believe If I do well i can score a 55 or better.
Based on this information, do I make a solid candidate to be a SWO? If there is anyway I can strengthen my application, I would greatly appreciate everyone's input.
