Most don't look at transcripts, just a few very specific designators.

Thanks for the information on your previous reply. Since I already graduated from a masters program after my kit was submitted, I don’t think I’ll need another degree.

I’ll bug my OR to see where my GPA is officially at based on all the updates I have after my kit was submitted. I kinda managed to figure out how the GPA was calculated and it actually turns out to be simple than I initially thought.

Based on all the information provided/gathered, it seems like I can still take some extra classes relevant to my current job and the intended designators to pad my GPA a little bit if I can get an A.

Thanks again!

I was specifically talking about with or without prior service to the age reference.

Yes GPA is a big factor for these programs no matter the age as the average GPA of those selected hovers around 3.5

I have seen many who were IS, IT, and CT who had several years of experience who had less than 3.0 GPA's that were not picked up.

One board the program manager told me they had so many applicants everyone with a GPA less than 3.0 was declined by the board with no application review.

I don’t know how much u can help with this but I have a 3.3 with a public health major which according to my recruiter is STEM consider I have lots of science classes due to it being a Health Science degree before I was forced to switch. With a major and a gpa like that would a 55 oar give me a very solid chance of being picked up or do u think I’m screwed if I don’t have a 60+? I asked my recruiter already but I’d like a second opinion possibly.

Your GPA and OAR are right around the middle of the pack of a normal applicant. I’ve seen some get selected with lesser stats, but of course seen some with much better.

In general it seems if it is a BS in XXXX you are most likely fine. The way to know is apply/submit.
