OAR is just a ticket to the dance. GPA is rough.I'll be applying to this board. I threw my application together pretty late to get in for this board and my recruiter has been great to work with although I've still got to squeeze in a trip to MEPS in sometime this week cause they were full last week. Only had two weeks to prepare for the OAR/ASTB on top of school and clubs to run so if I don't get picked up this time around I'll shrug it off and look forward to being better prepared for another go with hopefully a better GPA & OAR.
My stats:
GPA: 2.8 - World Politics
OAR: 42
Age: 21
No prior service
LOR's: USCG O-4 (Ret), former cross country coach (also fmr. state assembly speaker), university professor.
Better than average chance. Fantastic GPA and solid major.My application got rolled over from the previous board.
Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.81
Major: Biomedical Engineering w/ Mechanical Eng. emphasis
OAR: 62
Age: 25
Prior Service: No
I feel good about my chances but I am hoping my application will be viewed this time around as I am not getting any younger.

Dude, I already know you're going to say something along the lines of "I would say a lower than average chance." so I'll save you the effort, agree with you, and take a chance either way.What's your major and LORs?
Well, depending on your major, your chance could be average. Say, for something STEM related.Dude, I already know you're going to say something along the lines of "I would say a lower than average chance." so I'll save you the effort, agree with you, and take a chance either way.
If I listened to anyone's opinion about applying then I wouldn't be here. Give it a shot. Nobody's opinion really matters when you're marching down Elliot Avenue on graduation Friday.Dude, I already know you're going to say something along the lines of "I would say a lower than average chance." so I'll save you the effort, agree with you, and take a chance either way.

I'm hoping already being in Newport helps increases my stock as well.100%.
By the way, I'm 33. Accepted at 32 with an age waiver. Will be graduating OCS 2 months before my 34th birthday.
Don't be too hard on yourself about your age. As long as they don't hold the OAR waiver against you, your GPA, TIS, and quals will likely give you a good shot.
Eyyy, easy commute!I'm hoping already being in Newport helps increases my stock as well.
If I don't get picked up off this board I'll definitely apply again next cycle hopefully with an improved OAR score. When I took it back in March I didn't have much time to study for it. Narrowing down close to the deadline I didn't want to rush into taking it again and run my chances at the board given the solid package I believe to already have.100%.

I'm pretty sure that you won't get a date until you actually have your degree as that's a requirement for OCS.Does anyone know if those who are not graduated yet will get an ocs date if they get a ProRec yes? I will graduate in December but obviously the board will meet before that
