Whole person concept.....OCS Board

[MSAUZI101]

I am among applicants for the IDC Board 12AUG2013...Intelligence as my number one, followed by Information Warfare.

I've been reading on whole person concept...and here are some of the important things usually considered

1. Level of study (Bachelor, Master or PhD)
2. Exam Results (GPA for your degree, and ASTB/OAR)
3. PRT Score
4. Interviews
5. Letters of Recommendation
6.CO Endorsement (for active duty)
7. Work experience
8. Community involvement/volunteering
9. Eval (active and prior)
10. Essays (reasons to be naval officer, and core values)
11. Special abilities (Foreign language, flying hours, computer skills etc)
12. Extra-curricular activities
13.....and extra qualifications, eg warfare pins for active etc

To be quite blunt the "whole person concept" is a PR stance, in most designators it doesn't come into play, and when I was in OR school we were told to not really use that term.

Intel and IW prefer technical degrees from what I understand.

3. PRT Score

There isn't a PRT score on the OCS application, but it might be different for priors.

A recent board took ~30 of 900 who applied for intel. Not sure on the stats for IW.

This just looks like a list of things they ask for on the application paperwork. Do you have a question, or some kind of gouge to offer other applicants?

and by the 60/40 split only 12 of those were probably non tech
