I was wondering how early out from graduation could one apply for OCS? I seen a post that stated anywhere between 6-12 months out from expected graduation date you can submit a packet, however, that just seems like a pretty large margin. I plan on submitting for the upcoming May board, but I would like submit as a regular applicant since I am unsure if my ASTB (6/8/7) and GPA (3.6) will be competitive enough to be picked up as BDCP. My expected graduation date is December of this year, so if anybody knows a little more insight I would love to know. Thanks as always!

The program authorization says you need at least 60 credit hours completed to apply. You can find the program authorization on the internet and it pretty much has everything you need to know about it. I knew someone that got picked up through BDCP last year with 5/5/5. So apply and see what happens.

I would say apply as soon as you can if you really want this. The earlier you get started the better. I wish I had gotten started a lot earlier. It would have been much less stressful. Instead i’ve been trying to get stuff done to meet this board on a short timeline.

My recruiter just informed me that I didn’t get selected for this board. I’m very confused as the board hasn’t convened yet? Trying to get more information but hopefully he’s got the wrong information.

There are a couple of options that are possibilities or it could be something else. Here are some of the options.
- Your recruiter is wrong
- Your application was kicked back due to an error and your recruiter is just saying you were denied.
- NRC pulled your application into the board and it was seen.
- BDCP is at the limit of those they can have in the program currently.

It could be one of these or none of these, unfortunately the only ones that will know for sure are at NRC.

What can I do? My recruiter basically told me, word for word, “you got denied, re-apply when you graduate for the best chance, good luck to you” as if he never wants to hear from me again. Considering switching recruiters for my next application cycle.

When do you graduate?

Okay. Hypothetically if BDCP is full, would it still count as a nonselect and force me to wait 6 months to re-apply?

It depends how it was coded. If truly full until those in the program went to OCS there wouldn't be any more openings which means you could be waiting until you qualify for the regular path.

I have no idea how but I landed the pro-rec-y BDCP SNA. I thought the board was cancelled so I was caught by surprise yesterday when my recruiter called me to tell me the news.

I'm so confused so are people already being told if they were accepted or not? or is this just a BDCP specific thing?
