They can make it very quick if they want. Let's assume there are 200 candidates. I'm sure they have a few key measures that correlate highly with good officers. Once they choose a threshold for each parameter they can apply it to each applicant and quickly reduce the stack for review. For example, a high GPA is a good measure of further academic success. Suppose they say "show me only those applicants with an MBA or a Masters in a STEM-related field." Perhaps this reduces the stack from 200 to 100. Next they say "show me only those applicants with a 3.2 graduate GPA or higher." 100 to 70 in the stack. Now they say "show me those who are working in a civilian business-related job". 70 to 50. Maybe they thoroughly review 50 applicants for a quota of 20. I know they do something similar for graduate school so it's not unfathomable the board does it for this selection process as well. They could include one or two more parameters and get their quota in a couple hours or less by that method.

So accurate.

I hope your OR is correct and that results are out today - can't stand the misery much longer...

I am sure you are correct but I would think that is how the board always goes and if it takes a week or two to get through it with less applicants I am just thinking it may take a little longer with a larger pool. Of course that all depends on how many on the fence people there are after you get past the highly qualified and the lower level candidates. Like the rest I am hoping it is today.

The wait... The first one to find out something, post! I will be glad to hear at least someone from this board gets selected.

Aside from our recruiters, does the list get posted somewhere? NPC?

Good question. I wish we had somewhere to look - not likely...
