Hello sir, i was just curious if my degree has any effect on my SNA application for BDCP. I am currently working towards a B.S in IT and wondering if that aids my package in any way. Thank you!

It has zero effect whatsoever, especially for SNA. As long as it is an approved curriculum, you are good. Your single biggest factor for SNA is your ASTB scores.

Apparently, ISEL and Unrestricted ISPP don't count against quotas?
I find that that's honestly BS.
It's just like getting MAP'd or CAP'd or whatever they are calling it these days. It absolutely does affect promotion and locks rates up.
Just ask any ABH, HM, DC, MA how they feel about it, haha.
We all know OCS mostly just fills the holes left after ROTC and Academy graduates.
But when I start hearing larger designators like SWO/Pilot/Supply begin to close, it's a head-scratcher.
Furthermore, those ISEL numbers are pretty high. I believe SWO is like 3.5 GPA, 50 OAR, and 0 waivers.
In addition, our NTAG has basically changed policy (we have a TSO SOP deviating from the Cruitman)
We didn't get individual goals for each recruiter for 2026; we have a command-wide goal split between all of us.
It was >90 last year (split between each recruiter), this year it's 42 for all of us combined.

I thought I had replied to you earlier; my apologies.
I am technically not allowed to tell you specifically what to study as a current Officer Recruiter.
This is due to applicants blaming their recruiters after they do poorly on the ASTB/OAR.
However, like @FormerRecruitingGuru said, there is a PLETHORA of good gouge on this board on both variants on the test.

I would find that difficult to believe it doesn't count against quotas, I mean we are smart people and we know there are only a certain amount of spots per designator per FY for the USN so I would agree with your thought.

What is nice is that even though they fill the holes from NROTC and USNA traditionally it is fairly split, I used to look up that info randomly and it was always about 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. However if the USN decides to reduce their officer numbers it would be OCS to take it in the shorts since that where they can make quick adjustments.

I can't remember what I had for individual goals or what are command goals were, I just know how I had done. It is interesting they are doing combined goals.
