Anyone know where I can find that excel sheet of the selected stats? I know it's on the nyusn blog, but I just the past half hour trying to find it and I couldn't. My OR has it too, but he's on leave, and I'm just curious to look at the numbers again.

Well, just got back from my OR. He said nothing about the August boards being cancelled... Then again, he knows I'm going for Supply. So, either he hasn't been informed of any board cancellations yet, or it just wasn't worth mentioning to me given the designator I'm applying for.

Damn, talk about a good set of LORs and extracurrics.
Side note/update. New job with lots of responsibility (everything from event planning to student involvement to in charge of mentor program). Meeting with a few people down in San Diego when I am there next week. So far got a O-6 meet lined up, and should have a couple more. Getting my butt kicked in fitness boot camp!
Hope everyones start fo summer is going well.

Graduating what? And what about those already done with college..

I got confused when I first read that too, but I think he means commissioning/graduating from OCS.
I just spoke with my recruiter today, and he confirmed that all but SNA boards have been canceled for August. And it looks like I'll be in for these boards after all.

Whatever the case may be, noone should give up hope. Everything could be all speculation and they might hold all the boards as planned (being optimistic here!)

My recruiter told me the same information. All boards are closed except SNA with an application due date by July 25th. He did mention that they are only accepting people who have had their application completed and have been sitting on the sidelines waiting. So if someone were to walk into a NRD that wants to start their pack for a chance to be in this August board would be turned away for now. He did mention that there are upwards of 1200 applicants and the target number for selection is 170. So 10-15% selection is what I'm hearing. Looks like it is going to be a tough board.

Yeah, I really don't think the number 1200 is anywhere close to accurate considering the information millsra13 gave us earlier. But I don't know anything about it.

In it for the naked volleyball
I would hope that is 1200 total applicants, and not 1200 for SNA. If that's the case, I kind of feel bad for the board meeting in August if they've gotta dig through that many.

When he first told me 1200+ I was completely shocked. I could be mistaken that its the number of SNA applicants. All that was going through my mind at the time was damn that's a big number. But I do recall that during my first board submission in March of 2010 there was over 300 applicants, and the January board prior had a similar number. Considering it has been over 7-8 months since the last SNA board that number is not of question. A lot of people can have their packets done during that time.

I would say that makes sense. However; from what I understand, they weren’t accepting applications for that entire 7-8 month period. Not to mention that millsra13 reported that they only had 200 submitted for the April board that didn't happen. I find it hard to believe that 1000 applicants were able to get in applications for SNA in just May and June. But, that is just my opinion.
