OCS 11AUG25 IWC BOARD // Nerd Thunderdome 2025

Has anyone heard anything about a ship date in September? My OR hasn't given me many details and it seems rather late compared to most of the other ship dates for this board.
 
I'm not going to give up. I'll reapply for Intel and also send in applications for other designators. I think my achilles heel is the 3.2 GPA but perhaps additional LORs and a few work certifications will assist my package.
I had a 3.3 GPA for my MBA but I had some (in my opinion) absolute bangers for LOR’s. I didn’t have anyone with any military ties but I had people that I’ve worked with in some capacity for years and have known for a long time. Don’t give up. Revamp and reapply!
 
I haven’t heard back from my OR yet but by the looks of it I think 2nd IWC options are tossed up to the Oct board. Regardless I’m assuming the worst anyways and working on a revamped package.

It was probably a combination of your age and GPA that did you in.
