Well, I got the word today. ACCEPTED! Wow, I'm in a bit of shock. Going to OCS this summer for the first of two 6 week PLC's. Much thanks to everybody on this board and especially the Marine Corps forum, that gave me great advice, info, and priceless gouge. Whether it calmed my nerves a bit, or gave me a different perspective, everybody has been great!

Hey Congratulations Klost, I am smiling as I type this..What an awesome oportunity, It must be nice to walk around your OSO knowing you will be a marine...Great Job Man, I hope I make it there too!! What were your stats?

thanks adren, just found out on the answer machine. Yeah, I can't wait to talk to him tommorrow. You'll be there to adren. My stats were 5's and 7's on ASTB, PFT was 283, GPA was a poor 2.33. I really wasn't sure if I would get accepted because of my grades. All I can say, is don't let anything discourage you. My application was by no means, "great." But it can be done, even with a 2.33 GPA. And a little luck as well.
