To make sure I'm understanding this correctly: 'Graduate GPA of 3.0+ from a conferred degree supersedes a lower undergrad GPA' doesn't mean that the numerical value of the former will replace the numerical value of the latter, but rather that it will simply make you eligible for Intel. The actual GPA value the board evaluates is the average of the two?

So if you have graduate-level credits, but haven't completed the degree yet, do they count for nothing when determining eligibility (i.e. won't bring up a below-minimum undergrad GPA)? If that's the case, it would seem a bit uneven if standalone undergrad credits earned after completing a bachelor's are counted in and can be used to reach the minimum required GPA. (And I say this as someone who is using that method to qualify.) I suppose, however, that they are still technically "undergrad".

Yes to your first paragraph. I think your hinting at your undergrad not being consider.... they are going to know your undergrad GPA and it will be considered total person concept. Your Masters qualified you to be looked at thus having the masters fulfilled the requirement of the bachelors. If you don't have your masters but you have some grad course complete well guess what you don't have a masters and if your bachelors does not qualify you than you don't qualify for the board. If you have grad classes and no masters yet those classes will be calculated into your GPA.
Bottom line any schooling you have done will be looked at everything is considered.

If you are having to rely on a graduate GPA to make yourself eligible for Intel, then I have some bad news for you...

These boards are already competitive enough as is with individuals with high UG GPAs.

Yes, I do know that it is an outside chance with a low undergraduate GPA. In addition to the graduate degree, I have over 7 years of professional experience in the field that my OR along with the senior officers I interviewed with believe should help a little to overshadow my undergraduate GPA. One of my interviews was with the Officer in Charge of the Reserve Information Force for my region and he wrote me an excellent review.

I appreciate all you do to provide sound information on these forums RUFiO. You are an excellent resource!

Anybody hopeful for results by end of week? If I read correctly, it seems the results from the June board were about 2.5 weeks, and March’s about a month.

I check Bupers about 3 times a day... I was confident they would release last week but looks like just DCO. Good Luck!

I’m working nights, so checking throughout the “day” for me is useless lol. Plus, I go on leave on the 5th for 11 days and don’t have a CAC reader set up for my MacBook, so unless my triad contacts me I won’t find out until after the 16th. Good luck to you as well!

It looks like the reserve results are out, I checked BUPERS but nothing on there yet. Looks like the results were pretty good for the DCO side of the house, hopefully that applies to the active duty side too!

Where do you see the reserve results and DCO? New to this, never done it before.

They are in the thread in the reserves forum, but for those too lazy to check this is what they were:

OCEANO - 1
CW - 9
IP - 9
Intel - 43
NON SELECTS - 63

Have you noticed the reserve quotas typically post way ahead of the active duty boards? Sorry about all the questions, I can’t stress enough about being a first-timer.

2 different boards, 2 different groups of board members, 2 different sets of quotas.

The only thing in common is the selectees become USN officers.

I keep hearing persistence and consistency matter. I believe I have a solid package and with the improvements I have made, why would I skip applying to a board? I know I am essentially asking an unanswerable question - I think if any of us knew what the board would do we would use our powers to win the lotto. Just looking for some insights on what other applicants would do in this situation.

Did you end up applying to this board? You should ask for the waiver the worst they can say is no. I applied to this board as well.

Yes I submitted. Also I spoke to my leadership yesterday and was informed that results would more than likely be released for FLEET applicants next week. I have no idea what that means for civilian applicants. Good luck to everyone!
