Chances of Making Oceano With Minimal Stem Background

Hello,
I recently started the process of trying become a Naval officer. I took the ASTB today with orginal intent on becoming an NFO and scored 60/5/4/5. A not very competitive score for an NFO. I was wondering if I would have any chance of making it as an OCEANO, with a minimal stem background.

Minimal, the PA strongly prefers specific STEM degrees, that means that is what they want, they are also very picky they have shipped their FY 22 goal to OCS already and they only need to pick 1 more at the March board to meet their selection goal.

The STEM degrees are *most strongly preferred* for OCEANO. You can take that as an unofficial requirement. Additionally, a big part of the STEM degree is so the OCEANO community can send you to MIT or Naval Postgraduate School during your career to get your MS.

Program Authorization for OCEANO can be found here:

You might have better odds with Intel:

You would be competitive for SWO if you submit with what you have now.

If your overall desire is Aviation and based with what you have, you may have to retake the ASTB and improve your aviation sub-scores.

Thanks for the advice, I am currently scheduling it on taking again. I think I can improve each of the scores, since I took it without studying. I think I can get to 70 and straight 6’s. Then apply for NFO with a backup of SC. SWO seems to have gotten generally negative reviews from those I’ve spoken with.
