Honest Acceptance Chances

[Jdakbutler]

Hello, I recently took my OAR and I scored a very good score of 72. However I am applying at the age of 30 which is one year over the age limit. I went through school and got a bachelor's degree with a biology major and business minor with a 3,6 gpa as well as a doctorate of pharmacy with a terrible 2.3 gpa, part of what steered me towards a path in the navy instead of pharmacy while still satiating my bean counting nature via a path in the supply corps. I know they average the gpa scores and it may end up making me look like a worse candidate than I actually am despite the fact that it was actually more difficult to get that second gpa. Would a doctorate degree, business minor, and a good OAR score make up for the lowered gpa and missing the age cutoff by a year?

Are you active duty or prior enlisted? If not, you are not eligible for supply corps.
