My GPA is 2.68. I major in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. I talked to the CEC Accessions Officer and he basically told all that you mention. Right now I am actively studying for the FE (EIT) exam and I am schedule to take in January 2017.

You need to get that GPA above a 2.8, even higher than a 3.0 if you want to have a chance of getting PROREC Y for CEC. Getting the EIT is almost mandatory for getting selected. With a 2.6 you are not eligible to apply for CEC or any of the IDC/IWC options.

My recruiter didn't give me much info regarding the overall numbers for this board. I know I was the only one of his 3 CEC applicants that got selected.

My first board when I did not get selected (late 2015) there were 40 or so CEC DCO applicants, and I believe he said only 5 were selected total.

Those were some pretty low odd on your first go around.

What did your overall package look like? Degree, GPA, LOR's etc..?

I have a Civil Engineering (Bachelor & Masters) degree with a 3.2 GPA. I have my EIT, and have passed the Civil/Structural PE exam. Prior service (AD Army). LOR's were all from engineering/construction professionals. I interviewed with an LT in person, and had a phone interview with a CPT (both seemed to go pretty well, but I never asked the recruiter what they thought of me). I'm fairly old at 31 too....

I think the EIT thing was a pretty big deal. Neither of them had an EIT, but one had a Phd, and the other had tons of construction management experience. From what I gather, these professional certs are a big deal.

**I passed my PE exam after my packet was resubmitted, so they did not know this**
