unfortunately it is a small number that do find this site, it is more likely for priors or AD to find it though.
You think there's a strong chance? Not sure what the average OAR score is out of ALL applicants. It seems like most of ya'll on this site have very good OAR scores.
PA?
don't worry about the OAR, you can have a great OAR but if you have a crap GPA the crap GPA is all they will pay attention to.
Program Authorization, it lays out the qualifications for each occ field (minimum scores, age cutoffs, TIS cutoffs, etc.)
So you would say the OAR is literally just the "ticket" to get your packet in front of the board? It plays a very small role in the deciding process compared to the APSR, Recommendations, GPA/Degree?
I think my OAR is pretty close to the minimum if I'm not mistaken.
some designators go more into the application than others, generally those are the small ones like Supply, CEC, and IWC. SWO is high volume so GPA and degree are good, maybe quick scan of statement, LOR's probably not unless something in your record causes them to look at them, these boards go fast.
