What do you guys think about my profile despite my low OAR score ( tried to boost to a 50 and got a 38) which I had stuck to my old score.

You’re not eligible. PA states min of 40 OAR nothing mentioned about OAR waivers.

The SC OCM states that I can request for an exception to policy via the CNP. My CO who is a CAPT SC is also onboard with me going that route.

That’s not automatic. Even if you happen to get a CNP ETP you are competing against kids with much higher OAR scores AND similar education/backgrounds.

So based on your experience, I can never be a Supply Officer. I mean am asking this so that I can change my MBA major to Health Care Administration to at least go with the MSC-IPP route. Also, do you know how the break in service works for Medical program? lastly, I was also told that they took LDO away from the Supply Corps and now we will only be eligible for CWO. Is that true? Thank you for your honest insight.

For Supply Corps there is still LDO, however there is no longer CWO.

That is what I taught too but my ASUPPO told us that they are discontinuing LDO program because they no longer have billets for them. You can verify that info with your chain and share if you don't mind.

I never said you'll NEVER be a SUPPO. I DID say the odds are against you because of the low OAR score. Keep in mind, you're competing not only against your enlisted counterparts but also kids off the streets. Kids who attended schools like UCLA, Harvard, Berkeley, etc. with high GPAs, OAR scores, and very likely some good LORs to back that up.

As for HCA, it's possible but you will need to read the program authorization or NAVADMIN/message (if applicable) to see if you qualify. For non-priors wanting to go HCA, they also need to have taken the GMAT or GRE for their graduate program.
