Finally heard back and I am PRO REC X for SWO. I was told by the SCPO I talked to that all May 2014 graduates have to wait until Dec board for SWO, but can apply for SNA and SNFO. They told me SWO has to low of a quota to pick people that possibly won't be through until the first or second class of FY15.
This is the trickle down effect, those that go to OCS as SNA or SNFO who are medically DQ aviation and want to stay in the USN will often go SWO, for every one that goes SWO that is one less billet available for that FY.
There were also many selected at the last board that are FY14, and given that FY14 goals aren't official yet they will only pick a portion to ensure they don't screw things up.
