Consider other officer designators are your GPA is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum.

[CowboyFan15]

Someone correct if I’m wrong but I thought I saw NPC post a new board schedule for FY20 showing the convene date for IWC is now 5 Sept 2019. Anybody else see this?

 

[SRB138]

Just saw that the new board convene date is 4 sept 19.

 

[Crypto234]

Retook the OAR today. Got a 62. My advice: Search the forums for test tips! I improved my score 10 points by using the practice tests and gouge I found on this site. Best of luck to everyone applying for this board!

plus is your GPA is above the average selected, Master's degree is good and what school? but degree is non-tech. OAR really doesn't matter that much.

Thank you for the reply.
Bachelors is from the University of Maryland
Masters is from the University of Oklahoma
The non-STEM degree and age are my biggest worries. IA’s, Evals and Recommendations are maxed out, but that is likely common for those who are selected.

I wouldn’t retake the OAR to risk a lower score. Consider swo if Iwc doesn’t work out.
