My recruiter told me I wasn't selected for INTEL but I was somehow at this SWO board even though I was told I had to wait until November. I ended up being selected for the designator, but I'm going to defer it until I hear back about my AMDO/SUPPO boards. Things could change, so perhaps I'll see you at OCS. However, for now, I've got a lot of irons in the fire, so to speak.

Hey everyone, I just got news about my application package.

Unfortunately, I was not qualified to make this board date due to me being too far from my graduation date. I will now have to reapply for a board convene in January 2025.

On the flip side, my recruiter says that I still have an almost guaranteed chance to get selected. It's also my chance to get my grades even higher. I wish you all the best of luck for this board and will hopefully see you soon!
Did he say that’s the earliest you can apply? Because there’s two other boards before then.

Not to push you or anything, but I’m in this board that convenes the 4th of November and I as well don’t graduate until May of 25.

I'd double check with your recruiter just to be safe, because according to the board program manager, you have to be within your last semester of college/university to apply for a designator.

Are you a prior?? Also I’ll find out this week when I go to submit. By the time the board convenes I’ll be in my last semester of school

I am not. I'm also not following, so you are in your last semester as of now, i.e., graduating Fall 2024?

No May of 25 is my Graduation. I was told it was different for civilians and priors. I’m currently enlisted. I’ll keep you posted on if they let me submit or not this week.

Please do, thanks. I'm also a civilian. Maybe that's why?
Someone lied to you. If you do BDCP you can get selected up to 2 years before you graduate. Just a regular OCS spot is only 1 year before you graduate. Not sure why your package was not allowed at the board.

That’s what I was told as well. That’s why I was confused.
