The feedback I received last time was that if you have waivers, the rest of your package must be immaculate. There are lots of candidates that apply and don't need those. I had to think of ways to improve what I already had. (I. E. Higher Ranking Interviews, Higher Ranking LORS, items that showed I was still crushing the game, SOQ citation, volunteer letters)

We will see how it works out for me this time.

I've heard that also, but they are a bit more lenient on AD who are utilizing the age waiver.

A 47 wouldn't require a waiver, so I wouldn't worry about that. I guess it's possible it's lower than they'd like to see, but it doesn't seem THAT much lower than a bunch of PROEC Y in the past.

Good to know. I have a medical and OAR waiver but I think that just might be for the IWC board, not sure

Ahh, that makes sense. Either way, I wouldn't worry too terribly much about a 47 for SWO. Seems slightly below average but still in range. I'd think a solid GPA would offset that as well.
