This is a wild guess but the reason you haven't been selected is the fact you're competing for an O-3 IDC spot vice everyone else who is coming in as an O-1. IWC gets filled, especially the O-3s and O-2s who eventually promote to LT. Your stats do make you competitive, but the fact you're an O-3, or should I say prior O-3 makes it slim to none accommodating a spot for you.
With almost 10 years in why did you leave the Marine Corps? If possible, check our USMCR opportunities if they're there.
I'll let @NavyOffRec weigh his opinion as well.
I have never seen a OSVET come in as anything but an O-1, seen prior USN officers retain rank but only prior USN
