Can someone go over how the board works i.e. a group of officers meet and go through each application and then rank them?

Easy, one word "darts"
seriously, each group of boards will look at different things, I have had insight on different designators from actual board members, since you are looking at SNA and SNFO NOPO should be able to give the best info considering how they have been taking many right now.

Looking at your stats, I say chances are slim to none getting selected. If you've been skimming around the IDC threads, most folks who've been getting selected for OCS are either former/current enlisted. For those without a military background, only a select few get picked up and many of those folks have advanced degrees such as JDs or PhD. I think there's two folks on here who have a JD and a PhD in math respectively get selected. Not discouraging you from applying, but just telling it like it is.

Yes, NRC needs to see transcripts from ALL SCHOOLS attended post high school.
Thanks for the info Sir. Was the post above this one directed to me or someone else?

Actually....ODS rsther than OCS pick up the J.D.'s & Ph.D.'s, while OCS pick up the 4 year degrees.

actually no, how a person gets sent to OCS or ODS is not by the degree but by the designator, a person that has a BSN will go to ODS if they are picked up to be a nurse, but a person that has a MD but is picked up to go Intel will go to OCS.

Also....
OCS prepare you to "go into" the Navy, I think the generalizations are coming from with the "narrow" thinking is that when Chiefs want to apply for OCS, then perhaps that's when the officers look at "prior military history"!
Please DO NOY BE misinformed, nor discouraged by "Rufio the Recruiter"
sometimes recruiters are not FORTHCOMING, nor care about your application package success!
which in my opinion is a disservice!

sure, but if he wanted to then he would be going to OCS
RUFi0181 is just telling you like it is, selection rates for Intel are very low, for people that just have a non technical Bachelor's it is even lower, it really isn't surprising since Intel has few spots open each year but they have the highest age limit, so you get people who have aged out for other programs applying for what they can.
