Making Recruiting Great Again
I knew all of you guys on here were wrong about the GPA and I knew they were selecting 80 for INTEL. Congrats
No, nobody was wrong. @devilbones was able to apply because of the Masters degree.

Congratulations. I guess that dispels the myth you need a 2.8 for undergrad.
I was selected for CW as well.
My undergraduate GPA was also at least a 2.8.No, nobody was wrong. @devilbones was able to apply because of the Masters degree.
My post was not in reference to @devilbones I was saying you guys are wrong about the GPA. Congrats to all who were selectedNo, nobody was wrong. @devilbones was able to apply because of the Masters degree.
I was found ineligible for this board because my Masters is not complete and my undergrad GPA was a 2.56. Most people on here are saying I will not be eligible once I complete my masters with a GPA around 3.7 /3.8One of my selections last year had a 2.73 undergrad gpa. His masters was above a 3.4 in cyber security. I’m happy to post the rest of his stats if anyone cares.
MOST people on here did not, there were a few of us that merely pointed out the wording in the PA that was published in January 2017. If his applicant was selected for CW, he would have gone by the 2015 PA which only required a 2.5. The @Top_Chef had a cumulative GPA higher than 2.8, if his AA and BA were averaged.

Thanks for the encouragement. Ill be back next year!Ive been around this process about 7 yrs. This is my 3rd board - i have pretty much experienced every possible scenario you can think of in this process. I have been upset, excited, motivated, discouraged, downtrodden, inspired, unqualified, and recreated. Do exactly what you said above but focus on what you want, who you are, and what you can control. If you put together the best possible package you can - do everything you can to improve it each cycle - and stay true to the reasons your doing it --- then you have done all you can do! Feel good about it.
The only thing that gets me - is the boards have been increasing in competitiveness every board so much, a candidate really has to up their game in between each board!
good luck to those who have improved and wish to serve!
Not the year for me.
I've got some suspicions as to what kept me from making the final cut, and I can work on that. My sincerest thanks to the CW selects who shared their background info.
Edit: And good luck! It is a downer, but I'm also impressed by the caliber of people who are picked up. The USNR will be better with you guys onboard.
What was your Masters degree in again? I don't rememberMy undergraduate GPA was also at least a 2.8.
Wow what a roller coaster day... I was not selected by this board, I’m now 0 for 3 trying to join the Navy, but received word I’ve been endorsed for a position in the Air Force Reserve. I’ll get to serve after all. What a wild ride... good luck to everyone. It’s good to be among like-minded, motivated people.

It depends on your background and other qualifications which can mitigate a low GPA. If you have nothing to mitigate the low GPA, then....I guess that dispels the myth you need a 2.8 for undergrad.
