Last year I think they posted that the average of the 12 people that were selected was like 3.51....... However I am sure the degree is taken into consideration like physics or engineering would be a lot different than say a liberal arts degree just my .02.

Every selectee had a degree in a preferred field of study, and each made AMDO his/her #1 choice. The average OAR was 51.3 (compared to 48.5 for all AMDO applicants). The average age was 30 (for all applicants and selectees). The average GPA for selectees was 3.28 compared to 3.19 overall. Favorable interview appraisals and letters of recommendations from AMDOs were of tremendous help to board members. Obviously, the more senior the writer, the better.

One quick note about OAR scores for your knowledge when mentoring future AMDOs. The board removed from consideration TWO applicants whose OAR scores did not meet the minimum requirement stated in Program Authorization (PA) 107B. The PA document is a little hard to find and it is quite dated, but the minimum score of 40 remains valid. It can be found on the CNRC website.

This is straight off the AMDO web site from last years results.

I had nfo for first and AMDO for second... Do you think this will be a deal breaker

I guess it depends on how strong your package was. Again my .02 AMDO is a VERY small community and they might take that as well if I don't get NFO I'll settle for AMDO. I mean you never quite know exactly what they are looking for. The percepts gives you a general idea.

Hello fellow AMDO hopefuls; just as anxious as everyone. Thought results would be out by now as well. Round 3 for me, just keep pressing if you don't get selected. Dust yourself off and try again, that's where I'm at. Hope this is the board we get selected. Had a couple personal friends get selected the last 2 boards, so it does happen. It's got to be 12 or 7 somebody's, why not us?

Have you ever gotten any feedback as to why you were not selected or what to do to make your package better? Good luck to you!

Jetullis6,
Well from what I learned through the first denial process is I put three designators as my choice, which made it look like I wanted to just be any officer vice AMDO and AMDO only. They want you to want to be an AMDO! At that time in 2011 my package was kind of weak, left a lot of white space and personal statement was not up to par. I had like 1 or 2 AMDO appraisals and the others were pilots, nfo's, etc...I was middle of the pack in Evals and such, so I just wasn't there. 2nd package was much stronger but I was still lacking leadership. I had just got to new command, got the welcome aboard P eval, but I did get the analyst qualification and got better interviews. An O6 1520 and a few other O6 appraisals outside of AMDO's. I have a criminal justice degree which they were looking more for technical degrees. So once I knew what I had to do, this third time, I took over as theLine Division LPO leading 28 junior Sailor's and earned an EP eval. I got my TS/SCI clearance, worked on a technical masters degree, reached out to high ranking AMDOS for appraisals. Also, I got in safe for flight syllabus and knocked that out. So hopefully with Analyst, Line Division LPO, SOY, outstanding PRT's, along with beefing up a few areas, I got a dog in this fight.
