The OAR is just a check in the box, it carries very little weight if even looked at for some boards.
Being in the field will help, but your GPA for your UG will hurt, non-tech will hurt as well, Intel takes more non-tech candidates then CW or IP does so CW is a longshot.
You should look at SWO as well.
I appreciate the feedback, pretty in line with what I was thinking. So it sounds like unless I get the OAR up to a 60+ then it's not really worth the risk? Would you suggest putting Intel as my #1 and CW as my #2? I was looking at putting SWO-Intel or CW in there as well at #3 for the first go around.
I do have a Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics that I did as part of my MBA. Classes included Big Data, Data Mining, Data Resource Management, Quantitative Methods and Advanced Quantitative Methods. GPA for those classes was approximately 3.8-3.9. Any idea if a Graduate Tech Certificate would be perceived as a solid application booster due to lack of a STEM degree?
