Do you have prior service? If so I feel that you are a shoe-in.

No prior service. I come from a family of service, though, and that’s in my personal statement.
In the same boat as you minus the scores and degrees.

I did do the Peace Corps and speak fluent Spanish, but I doubt they give a crap about that. ?
The more the merrier. I do volunteer that's about it.

A lot of Peace Corps folk like to compare Peace Corps service with military service, but I find that insulting to veterans. What I did in the Peace Corps is nowhere near the sacrifice veterans make during military service.

your Peace Corps experience would preclude you from govt intel jobs until a certain period of time has passed. good on you for serving though!

If anything will push you over it will be your graduate degrees not the OAR
I was told that even I wasn't finished with my degree at the time of submission to turn in my transcript with the intended graduation date on it from my graduate degree. They said it may or may not help because the degree wasn't done when I submitted it, but its better then not putting it. Hopefully since they want you to get a graduate degree during your officer career it will help with the selection process

Yeah, I’ve run into that prior. I got out in 2017, so it’s been a while. I believe I’m reaching the point where it doesn’t matter anymore. I may have already reached it.

I’d actually like to do another Masters during service if I’m accepted. We’ll see if I’m given the opportunity!

Military Intel has a time lock of 4 years for former Peace Corps, at least what I just read. I hit 4 years in May, so even if I went to OCS tomorrow, I’d finish after my 4 year lock out ended.
I’m not 100% if the lock out period is 4 years, though. Just what I was able to find.

You the real MVP! Just called and texted my recruiter. He didn't answer, but I am making sure he puts done NFO for the May board.
