Hello AW family,
I recently took the OAR (second attempt) and scored a 52, up 8 points from my first attempt after a month of studying. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in late April of 2018 with a bachelors of arts in history, earning a GPA of 3.820 (possibly a 3.706 if combined with three classes I took at a community college as transfer credits - didn’t put forth my best effort in them). I am full-time employed at a medical contract research organization where I work as a project assistant in medical and regulatory affairs. My first designator preference is SWO, with my second being Intel. My letters of recommendation are from a Naval Academy graduate who served for 10 years on a carier, my PhD academics advisor that I sought guidance from throughout college, and a local, positive community member. My goal is to get acceptance into OCS, and I am wondering how my chances are looking given the information posted above. From what I have read in the forums, I think I fair better than most applicants, but I’d like any input on my specific situation. Thanks!
