Did he say if those totals also included the BDCP folks? I guess the 50 per board quota stopped this month. That is a sh!t ton. Maybe they have a lot so they can fill the rest of the FY' 09 slots...who knows. I'm not BDCP by the way, just trying to see why the high numbers.

If this is true then hopefuly they'll pro-rec the same percentage of applicants as they would any other month. Doesnt hardly seem fair that they would turn down a large amount of people just because they had an over abundace of applications for the month.

about what % do they usually end up taking?
There's no set number, it all depends on the quality of the packages. If everyone's awesome and they have room then they all get in; if all the packages suck then none of them will get in.
I know the wait's killing you, but I can say that it seems most of the people on AW get in for SNA/SNFO in their first or second go.

Alive and kicking...sort of.
I'm nervous for all of you too...if only it were because my package was in. I guess I get to worry about it for another month or two.
I'm interested in the numbers reviewed this month for both BDCP and straight OCS, as I've always heard the 1st 50 applicant rule was in effect - but only for regular applicants. Those numbers listed (100 NFO, 80 SNA) are about average for regular months, so I figured this month (with no December board) would've had about 120+ for each.
Anyways, good luck to all of you. I wish I was joining you, but I have a treadmill calling my name...I've lost some body mass (my jeans that were 2 inches too small a month ago now fall off), but only 7 pounds - not enough weight to meet regs in time for this board. So I have to wait until February (45 days since MEPS) to redo the body fat estimate and FINALLY submit my packet.

The BDCP numbers count for the FY the applicant would go to OCS, correct?
So if im graduating in March 2011 then I will actually be applying for a FY11 slot. Is this right?
OCT-SEPT is the government fiscal year. If you are getting commissioned BEFORE OCT 2011 you are FY'11. If you commissioned after OCT you would be a FY'12 quota. It's not when you go to OCS, it is when you commission.
Haha, you guys are like those old cartoons when the dude gets instructed, "Whatever you do, DON'T push the red button!"
