The application deadline has already passed for the September SNA board but I didn’t get a statement from my schools NROTC unit because the authorization wasn’t yet updated. Do you think they will accept a statement late or am I out of luck?
I have no clue. Talk to your recruiter about this. I would assume it wouldn’t be a major issue since the application deadline was yesterday for sep board.

BDCP guys and gals -

I was able to very easily obtain a letter from my NROTC unit that I am not elligible for a scholarship and allowed to apply for BDCP. I just explained that I am a civilian OCS applicant going for BDCP and they wrote me up a statement within the hour.

Was there a template/ form given to you by your recruiter or did you just ask the NROTC unit to write a statement?

Based on the wording from the program authorization:

"Applicants at colleges or universities with an established NROTC unit or cross-town agreement may apply if their recruiter obtains a statement from the NROTC unit stating the applicant is not eligible for any local NROTC scholarship program. The applicant must also have an approved degree completion plan prior to enlistment in order to determine the projected graduation date."

It sounds like this is all done on the recruiter's end - similar to LORs.

Cannot confirm or deny wether it's on recruiters end or not as mine made me get in contact with NROTC department at my university and obtain a statement.

Is there a thread where people accepted/rejected into BDCP posted their GPA, OAR score, major, and Officer designator?

Seems like this would be very useful information.

Anyone have any idea about my odds? Very unlikely, complete toss up, or decently likely?

Computer Science major
Cumulative GPA (CC + university averaged): 3.55
OAR: 60
Applying to Information Professional designator

After this term my GPA will be closer to 3.7 cause an F I got last year will be overwritten. Also, does having an F on my transcript look super bad or what? Even with my GPA being decent? Do they dissect my transcripts or do they basically just look at what courses I've taken and my GPA.

I got selected for BDCP for pilot with a 3.98 (poli sci) 63 oar 8/9/8 astb. I think you have a very good chance!

I got selected for BDCP pilot with a 3.50, 54 OAR and 7/9/8 ASTB. I also had a D on my transcript but no F. I'd say you have a decent shot but no one will be able to tell you for sure. If you go into the past boards for whatever designator you're applying for you may find more data points.

I got selected BDCP with a 3.7 in Data Science. 52 7/9/8 for pilot. I’d say your scores are pretty competitive, good luck!

Some designators look at the transcripts, aviation does not they just look at the overall GPA for BDCP.
