Hey everyone! First time applying as well.

Prior: No
GPA: 2.67 Undergrad, 3.4 Grad
MBA with a Specialization in Data Analytics
OAR: 56
Waiver: Age (31)
4 LOR's, none from any Naval Officers

I put my packet in back in May, and it feels like I've been waiting at least two years for this board to convene! Really nervous about my poor Undergrad, I'm hoping they see Grad school as enough of a plus to offset it.

Good luck everyone!
