If you don’t mind me asking what was your process of finding out about your acceptance and picking the designator you wanted out of the those you were accepted for?

Did you have to wait long for your official acceptance letter?

Just realized I didn't answer the first half of your question. Basically I submitted everything 27 September, I followed up a few times to see if I would be up for consideration for the 04 Nov pro board. Two weeks later I was given a POC for a Chief in NRC who had asked me if I wanted to apply via I-SEL since I qualified (I thought it was an automatic thing), after resubmitting with the updated package for I-SEL, my application was briefed to the OCM on the 21st who gave me a quota and I found out the same day via my command deck. Ultimately I received my acceptance letter on the 1st of November and my orders on the 6th. As far as selecting designators, I only applied for SNA, and I'd recommend only applying for one, especially if you feel you're a competitive applicant.
 
But hey, I still have hope maybe the results aren’t out but being worked on to be released this week and that’s why? But idk, just copium at this point

I didn’t do I-Sel because I was cool with my package going to board and I was hoping to have some time in between applying and selection to work on somethings (quals, certification etc.) but I was told I was competitive for multiple designators- so I applied for the three I wanted. I didn’t want all my eggs in one basket. So I applied to SWO, supply and IP.

Here’s my stats:

22 years old
F
52 OAR
3.7 GPA in BGS management information systems
3 years TIS (IT2)
I have a few IT certifications

I applied to SWO because I wanted to be out to sea as much as possible.
Supply was my second- I met the PA and my degree gave me a little background in business- so I put it down.
I put IP last because of my background- ironically my OCS coordinator said that was probably my best bet with my certifications and background. I am not as passionate about IP as SWO or supply…
I’m hoping I pick up for SWO- I’m hoping I didn’t shoot myself in the foot by applying for multiple designators
