Overcoming a low GPA?

Is this statement for OCS packages only? Or, is it also true for other accession avenues, e.g. DCO?

For the most part, yes for OCS programs. For DCO, it depends on the board. They might take a quick gander but in all honestly it's going to be your professional interviews that will have the biggest weight. NRC is in the process of cutting down 370s to just one, possibly more if you need a waiver (drug, arrests, etc.).

Interesting. I'd be happy if they cut DD-370's down to 1. They are kind of a pain, especially when you're asking someone unfamiliar with "writing Navy."

This is absolutely true and regardless of where my GPA falls at the end I will submit a kit since this is something I really want. I like what you said about the process forcing me to focus on personal development. Since I decided this is what I want over a year ago, I've doing a lot more to develop my self including the volunteer work which I've never done before. Yeah I was prior active and did 4 years, I was an average sailor and walked away with a flag LOC but certainly didn't have the drive or focus I have now. My credit history has some blemishes from when I was young but I've been working in banking for the last 3 years so I've gotten my finances in order just doing damage control at this point.

You're good man... I never had financial issues but I had some criminal issues being younger. Your issues are much easier to overcome with regards to becoming an officer. Never underestimate the power of will, send the kit, and most likely you will get it. I'd put money on it. If not... adjust fire and try again.

good luck man

Any update on this NRC idea, sir?

(Esp. with respect to the Jan 17 IWC DCO Board - how many DD370s do they want to see?)

I'll also ask my OR later this month. But always appreciate another data point.

Hello AW community, I've been trolling this forum and the information I have seen has been beyond helpful in answering my questions. I have been looking at the stats of those that got Pro Rec-Y but was hoping I could post my stats and get an idea of where I stand.

I'm aspiring to become a Supply Officer and my major is in Business Administration with a minor in Organizational Development. When I began college after AD I was doing great in my school work but time went on and I didn't know what my career goals were and I ran into some life trouble, so now I'll be graduating with a 2.8 GPA. I was able to get an LOR from 2 AVP's at the credit union I work for, it's a small CU so they have seen my work first hand, as well as my immediate manager. I also have around 45 community service hours in the last year, and an LOR from my supervisor at the boys home where I volunteer. I haven't taken the OAR yet but if it's anything like the SATs I'm almost certain I can walk away with a 50. Would I be wasting my time submitting my kit with such a low GPA? I also read that there would be a credit report ran, while this perfectly understandable since Suppo can be in charge of large amounts of money, my credit score is a 600, I don't have any large debts just old stuff I paid off and working to build my credit and my debt-to-income is less than 50%. Would having a low credit score effect my chances? Any responses would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time in reading my post.
Did you put a packet in?

Why are you responding to something that was almost a year ago?
Because in navythom's post it was stated he had 8 months till graduation, and since red was also in the conversation I figured I'd ask also. My apologies for not quoting both in the same post.
