03SEP2024 SWO BOARD

[connorseth]

I would think so since they probably have less spots in intel.So it would take longer to find out which are the best candidates and probably spend more time reviewing each application

But I’m not an OR just my guess

 

[exNavyOffRec]

Does timing also depend on the needs of each community? Like Intel (super competitive) v. SWO (not so much)

Sort of, it also depends what they look at but yes higher number of spots per board means they can move faster. If the percent selected was teh same for each designator then look at it like this, SWO is more about GPA, Aviation is about the ASTB, IWC and Supply are about degree, GPA and the other parts of the application, CEC is about GPA and interviews, and others have their specific things they look at too.

*If* we get selected, when do we learn our class date? Will it likely be the January date?

That’s subjective. Depends on the availability of OCS classes and if there are any last minute drop outs.

Applicants find out around the same time as the board results. I wouldn't try to "bank" on any OCS class until your recruiter tells you.

Absolutely. I feel like I have a good shot, but you never know.

Hey all by any chance doesn’t anyone know how many people have applied to this board.

I was told Tuesday that there are 112 applicants this board.

I was told Tuesday that there are 112 applicants this board.

Is that usually a lot or a normal amount of applicants?

 

[PepperPerry]

Is that usually a lot or a normal amount of applicants?

I believe that is on par with the last few boards, at the very least.

@PepperPerry are you still going to try posting an excel if not I can if you want.
