Can you give me a second opinion on my application?

Hello all, I am new here and joined because I applied to Navy OCS on June 18 and found some great information on this site. I also wanted to see if anyone could give me a second opinion (other than my recruiter's) on my application package. I am new to this whole military thing and have no idea how this works so please bear with me.

Like I said I applied on June 18 but I have only heard back from one board, and it was only last week. I applied to SWO, Intel, and Supply Corps. Did not get in to the Supply Corps. My recruiter says it was because I put it as my third choice and they won't give a slot away to someone who is assumed to get picked for their first choice. He thinks there's no way I don't get picked up.

My package:

ASTB: 59 6/5/5
GPA: 2.952
Degree: Entrepreneurship and Business Finance
Letters: Restaurant manager, doctor, business professional, and a Naval Academy grad/current civilian pilot
Extras: Certified Raft Guide, PADI Advanced Diver, boating experience, construction, motorcycles, team sports, etc.

I cringe every time I think of my GPA: I had no goals in college. But does anyone think I have a chance? Or am I wasting my time waiting so long for results? I'm sure everyone has gone through this.

Thank you!

If you applied on June 18th you should have been seen by all those communities, so either your application actually didn't go up when you thought it did or it did and the results were not favorable, RUFIO probably has good input on this.

I agree, you should have heard from both SWO and IDC boards back in October.
