Looks like you and I might have similar outcomes. Here's hoping we both make it. Good luck!

Also, just as a heads up, I just got off the phone with my recruiter and he explained that for this upcoming board, theres a "hidden" criteria for immediate selection. Only candidates who are able to immediately ship upon selection qualify for immediate election this time around. He said this is coming from the aviation community manager and that all the officer recruiter regional heads heard about it on a "conference call."

This checks out with what information I've gotten from my recruiter. He had an applicant who met the PA106 immediate select criteria who found out a week following package submission that he got selected and that his OCS ship date would be this March. In other words, immediate select really means immediate. I know some in this thread were wondering whether or not PA106 immediate select applicants were going to be evaluated before or during the board, hopefully this answers that question.
As to whether or not the PA106 immediate select program will run simultaneously with the proboard process or impact board selection rates, I have no idea. That being said, I have a feeling a reasonable number of SNA and SNFO slots will be available for those applying for the April 8 board otherwise I feel like there wouldn't be a board in the first place. In other words, if there's a board, there will probably be selections - otherwise the board would be a big waste of time for all involved.
Either way, nothing to do but stay positive, put your best foot forward and hope for the best.

Do we have any idea how long immediate selection will last?

I don't see anything on the document itself as far as an end date. It seems quota based (based on line 3 of the document) but the quota itself doesn't appear to be public information (maybe it is and someone has the numbers). I'm hoping it keeps going for a while, I have to retest depth perception before I can submit and that's gonna cost me about 2 weeks (N3M processing time).
If you haven't already, you can read about PA106 here.
From previous post about the subject apparently the last time they did this it didn’t last to long due to the skewing of applicants and so on.

I recently applied to the immediate select program and was told each Friday (weekly) they send results out. Anyone know about how long it takes to hear back after packet submission?

We haven’t had any users on here selected via immediate selection yet, however my recruiter said the same thing.

This time the criteria seems to be based on actual data of those selected in the past, which means it could do better than the other attempts.

That is a standard blurb on all PA's, it refers to the yearly quotas that are allocated to OCS and ODS programs for each designator and is not referring to immediate selection but the the designator as a whole.

I see, makes sense.

Has anyone seen my wingman?
Nvm, I dug deeper into this. It's making me a little worrisome, I am not going to lie. I 100% could've done better on my ASTB but it wouldn't matter because of my GPA. On the bright side of things, I think my motivational statement and letters of rec help me stand out more. Fingers crossed. If I don't get selected for this board, I'll just retake the ASTB to make up for my GPA.
