HEY,
I just want to know my chance of being selected!

BA in Psychology : 2.65 ( got a wavier)
OAR : 52
WAIVERS : ( something from 2017 when I was 11-12 I was never charged but since it shows up I had to get a waiver )
this is my second time taking the oar as I got a 33 the first time and I don't want a retake unless needed.

just be honest with me
 
How old are you any prior service male or female

You mentioned you never charged but you were arrested and they failed to or declined to prosecute.
If it wasnt for a serious felony would be a nothing burger

Dont retake oar

I'm 20 now going on 21 next month
Female and no prior service
okay I won't retake the oar lol
it wasn't anything serious
 
If they take alot of SWO's again you might be fine.

You must be very careful with your statement too often people try to address issues with a low GPA which the board sees as excuses or failure to identify and correct issues. Did you start out in college with a low GPA and then it increased over time?

my first semester in college I completely failed due to a loved one being murdered and I completely check out mentally but I was denied emergency withdrawal 3 times so I stop attending and I was already struggling cause 6 month before I lost my grandpa. and I transfer out to a new school that help support me with student wellness and I started from a 0.75 to a 2.65 gpa a LONGGG process and I ended up graduating early somehow

how would I go about my statement?

It depends, did your GPA increase consistently until graduation and where did it top out at?

The board also doesn't care about graduating early, that is one of the mistakes people can make talking about with a low GPA.

it did increase from 0.75 to 1.5 to 2.3 to 2.5 to 2.65 which is my final gpa in my undergrad and I don't think this matter but I'm currently in a master and my gpa a 4.0

help me understand how I should write my statement

This will definitely impact you majorly
Failed courses that you retake are calculated into how navy views your GPA. If you failed any courses and had to retake it your GPA the navy see s you have will be lower than your cumulative total if that makes sense
You ll definitely need a gpa waiver

I have one in place now as a SWO need a 2.7 and I have a 2.65 and I didn't know omg now I'm worried

yes I think at one point it was a 2.8 but I drop my grade with a d but I don't remember

Since you didn't do great I would not talk about grades, if you started low and your term GPA kept climbing to the point where your last term GPA was in the low 3's that would be something to talk about, but with the highest 2.8 that is still low. Talk about any leadership you did, volunteering, mentoring, etc....
