Someone correct if I’m wrong but I thought I saw NPC post a new board schedule for FY20 showing the convene date for IWC is now 5 Sept 2019. Anybody else see this?
 
Retook the OAR today. Got a 62. My advice: Search the forums for test tips! I improved my score 10 points by using the practice tests and gouge I found on this site. Best of luck to everyone applying for this board!

plus is your GPA is above the average selected, Master's degree is good and what school? but degree is non-tech. OAR really doesn't matter that much.

Thank you for the reply.
Bachelors is from the University of Maryland
Masters is from the University of Oklahoma
The non-STEM degree and age are my biggest worries. IA’s, Evals and Recommendations are maxed out, but that is likely common for those who are selected.
 
Checking in for this board as well. Submitting a reconsideration package. I plan on retaking the OAR after finishing deployment if I'm not selected again.

Active Duty: IS1
Evals: MP (Periodic), EP #2 of 23 (Periodic), EP #2 of 34 (Periodic)
Undergrad: 3.9 GPA Bachelors in Intelligence Studies
OAR: 50
Age: 25
LORs: O-6 (CNAL N2), O-6 (IWC), O-6 (CAG)
Appraisals: O-5 (N2), O-5 (SIO), O-5 (Former Skipper)

I wouldn’t retake the OAR to risk a lower score. Consider swo if Iwc doesn’t work out.
