I think all INTEL selected are commissioned as O-1. Saw other designator being commissioned

I have an MA but was told that I will commission as O-1
Check with your recruiter, I have a master and I will commission at O-2 that is what I am told. Program Authorization do not have that info on mine. Trying for Oceano 1805 designator. No point spending extra time when you can be placed at O-2 from get go.

Yeah I would love to start as O2. It may work differently on 1835 though. Can Veterans comment on this please?

Not all designators are the same, and just because a person has a degree beyond a BA/BS doesn't mean they will come in at a higher rank. The professional history will be reviewed for a determination.

That is what I thought. I will check with my recruiter to confirm.
I recall asking about this - I was told that since 1835 has applicants literally out the door, there wasn't a need to offer anything above O-1 to attract qualified candidates. Thus, everyone in the 1835 pipeline comes in as an Ensign regardless of degree. But again - maybe ask your recruiter too.

It is in the Program Authorization:

9. Constructive Entry Credit: Not applicable.

Thanks for the helpful info guys! Really appreciate it.
Do you know the background of this clause? Why no constructive entry credit for 1835 new DCOs?
