Do you have any tips when applying for a waiver?

Pretty much just as it sounds. I'll be a few months from graduation with my Bachelor's. When I graduate, I will have a GPA of 2.577. The only reason I know that is because I go to WGU, and they don't give out GPAs; this is just how the Navy views them. I also did a few college courses about 15 years ago when I didn't care which were bringing it down. I am currently 35, will be 36 next month.

OAR - 50

I plan on applying IP (1820) - my Degree is in Computer Science - Network Engineering and Security.

I have 7 Certifications - A+, Network+, Security+, Project+, Cloud+, LPI Linux Foundations, ITIL 4 Foundations.

I'm trying to see if anyone in a somewhat similar situation applied for a waiver and got it approved if you have any tips.

If you're talking about IP BDCP, as you've posted before, you are not eligible with a 2.57.

For the regular IP program authorization:

Read and heed the IP program authorization. Particular paragraph 5 with waivers.

Also pulling up your post history, you've asked roughly the same questions before. Strongly suggest reading the advice/responses that are given to you as well as researching easy-to-find answers. Lastly, if you're using a recruiter, use them at your disposal to field these type of questions.

Certainly reach out to one of the NTAG recruiters to assess the current demand signal. To my knowledge that GPA can be conferred with a graduate level degree only, hopefully at an acceptable GPA level that translates over into the Navy's metric. It is also my knowledge that any of the IWC designators are highly competitive (as it always has been), the accessions needs are low right now, and due to that waivers are becoming a hard-hold. As I digress...reach out to an NTAG recruiter and have them review your situation against the current needs.
