At what point at TBS do you find out about your MOS? Is it at the beginning, the middle or at the end of TBS? Also, what are the qualifications to be an 03? Any answers are much appreciated!

Ok, short answers to all those questions;

You will find out somewhat towards the end what MOS you will get
Every Marine Officer is qualified to be an 03 and go to IOC as long as they are 1. Male and 2. get selected for that MOS In short if you are going to IOC then you are qualified to be trained however how you place at TBS as well as what the Marine Corps needs and what everyone else in your class wants have an impact.

If you want to know more then...

You don't have to swim any better than any other Marine Officer...and yes they will teach you how to swim better.

So you are a prior going to 190? What was your MOS before?

I was in Alpha Company (Vilnius, Lithuania) for over 20 months, then I got off to go MECEP. Right now I am up to sitting on my butt waiting for the fall term at Oregon State to start.

You putting in a MECEP/ECP/MCP package from out there? IMO MSG really helps when your package hits the board.
