Scared I won't get picked up for a commission

[kimmer1013]

My GPA is a 2.8 and my OAR was a 46. I also had a letter of recommendation from a prior employee. The recruiter said it was good enough but as the board convening date approaches (5/5), I am getting more scared about not getting picked up for a commission. Was anyone else in the same shoes as me?

You'll be fine, if you've submitted everything already then there's nothing you can do other than keep your nose clean, no use in worrying about it.

What designator are you going for? If it is SWO, then I wouldn't worry too much.

If you're nervous about this, just imagine how you'll feel when your ship is being attacked by Chinese hypersonic missiles and you're the one we're counting on to do something about it.

Well that got dark real fast.

Yeah it's SWO.

Yeah it's SWO.

Oh you're fine then! I felt the same exact way not too long ago because I too had a GPA that was on the low-end. Bur if you'd like, check out the following spreadsheet that has the stats of previous candidates in the SWO boards.

Have you checked out the various SWO program threads to see where you would stack? If not that is a good step 1…

Yeah I’m feeling the same way too. My GPA was a 2.97 and OAR 55. But from what I’ve read people got in with lower stats, so I’m keeping my hopes up.
