There will be a lot more people applying than us on this thread, but our averages in this thread so far are ~25 years old (very few data points), ~55.5 OAR, ~3.45 GPA. As far as what the board is looking for, there is a thread dedicated to that in my first post, but I believe that an OAR of 45 or greater is pretty much required. I can't comment on GPA or whether the degree that was earned is factored in.

Checking in. Previously submitted for the May board, and if I understand my recruiter correctly, they looked at my kit and while it wasn't a definite YES, it wasn't NO. Numbers filled for that board and my kit got tabled for this one. Which I'm told is a good thing because if it was a no, they'd say it was a no. Just found out my kit was resubmitted for this board today, so here's hoping!
Married two years, father of an 8 month old.
26 years old
GPA: 3.47
Degree: pastoral ministry (not looking to be a chaplain though)
OAR: 46
Hopeful SWO.

Good luck to you! You are probably one of the first group for selection. I think it was called Alternate which it isn't a yes nor a no.

I also submitted for the May board and got tabled along with 12 other applicants, including yourself. Like you said, my recruiter also said this was a good thing since it wasn't a definite no. Hopefully they accept more applicants than May, when they took a smaller pool than usual. Good luck to you and the rest of the hopeful SWOs on this thread!

Here's a question: does anyone know how long after getting accepted, IF accepted (because I know very well that a yes isn't a yes until they say so), we need to show up in Newport? My recruiter has been vague and the only response I've been given is it could be 8-10 weeks after acceptance. I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Just a family man trying to plan.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the quick reply.

So now we are at the Friday after. If I remember correctly from the May board, we should hear news by middle-end of next week.
