Thank you and I'm sorry. You're right, optimism is key!
Look at it this way, never take no for an answer you'll have multiple attempts until you age out for OCS. As long as you think you got it, you got it never let this discourage you.

Understood, so it does have a teeny part in an application then. Is it safe to say that an engineering degree + good OAR score = good news?
Not really, many times I have seen people with engineering degrees and so so GPA denied and those with non tech degree and good GPA accepted.

Let’s just be optimistic. We’ve all got this.
Facts. Enough with my whining. We got hope! I forgot that I told someone before a while back that your recruiter has full confidence that you will be selected, which is why they spent the precious time prepping and submitting a package.

Exactly. They take the time to help us out. We are golden.

I've got an engineering degree with a 2.843 GPA (take it as you will) and a 62 OAR. So, you can kind of see where my anxiety comes from; I've got a little bit of the good and bad.
The past several boards have had several people rejected, I think the total was under 5? so as long as it follows the past 2 boards you should be fine.

The SWO boards normally move so fast they just look at degree and GPA then move along to the next one, Unless you have a waiver you won't get more than a glance.
