I am currently a senior in college and I am wanting to try for a commission in SWO.
Major: Criminal Justice
GPA: 2.8 (I have been making close to 4.0 my last few semesters, I messed around and really set myself behind my first few years from working too much) should be around a 3.0 when I graduate
OAR: 59 on first try, I know I can study and do better
Work experience: Was a valet manager at a Toyota dealership for a few years, currently doing an internship with the local police department, internship with US Marshal Service in the fall
I know this site gets bombarded with “what are my chances” threads, I just want to know how much a strong OAR and work experience counters a poor gpa. I have also seen somewhere that a lower gpa from someone that has worked through college (ex. 2.8) is looked at the same as a 3.2~ from someone who did not work. If anyone has any recommendations or feedback I would greatly appreciate it.
