September 2014 IDC Board

[EthansCure]

If I were only young enough for SWO I would have a PROTEC-Y already

I'm going to be 37 in two months, perhaps u and I will be the Old Men of our OCS class after getting accepted

3.0 and 48 OAR score.

That's "really increasing" it?!?! What was the requirement before they increased it? OAR Score: "yes"; GPA: "pass."

Just edit your post, bro. It's 0700 CST; some people aren't even awake yet.

 

[psulaw0929]

Damn, it just went over the 30 minute point and won't let me edit or delete it.

So I'm sorry if I offended anyone. The comment was out of my own fear and frustration of likely not getting accepted considering the low percentage acceptance rate and aging out of most other programs.

Come on. Even if the rate is low, your stats as we see them are excellent.

Thank you, but when I hear stories about 450 applicants and an estimated 15 slots for INTEL officers, it doesn't instill much confidence. Besides, like most, I have my weaknesses (non-STEM degree, no calculus or physics classes, low graduate GPA, less than stellar evals, etc.).

Agree. I'd say the two JD's going to the December board should start buying stuff for their sea bags.

 

[usnavymle]

For the record, nothing on BOL ATT.

Keep in mind a board was canceled. The application window was March to August and is the reason for the outrageous number of applicants. If the board in December goes, you will have way less competition.

Again look at the part that says "for profit" the same as UOPHX, ITT, DeVry, and the list continues. As far as something being factually incorrect keep researching AMU from other sources ect. And see what you find.

As far as wanting real military leadership vs. a piece of paper. The officer programs are getting very competitive so they are actually looking at both.

That is all.

Good luck to you on the board maybe we will both make it and we can discuss this further over some flutter kicks and screaming D.I.'s

Well it worked, I guess

3.0 and 48 OAR score.

Is this in the PA or is it backchannel info?

 

[ratherbesurfing]

That could be why they are taking so long. They are looking up people on Facebook, and probably even here. I would like to think I am joking, but I am not so sure.

I'm certain it wouldn't take much for a board member to figure out who I am based on what I've posted so far.

15 intel slots? man...

Beats the 5 for IP. That number being for the entire FY if history repeats itself.

Don't worry, man; it's all just hearsay until the results actually come out. Do you think the majority of folks without an ear at NRC were expecting a 97 percent acceptance rate? Probably not.
Expect the worst, but hope for the best (knowing that we won't know until we know).
