Hey guys I have a question about OCS, I have a 3.8 gpa, and im going to get my cyber security degree to become a cryptologic warfare officer. I'm applying to join the BCPS program. With a gpa like that and that degree, whats the lowest I can score on the OAR to be competitive for CWO?

Take some time and look at the stats of those in the IWC threads that have been picked up up.
The multiple post asking the same questions make it seem like you have doubts about how competitive you are, you shouldn't as you have a good degree and GPA.
In general those candidates I had with tech degrees and good GPAs did well on the OAR, if I was your recruiter I would have been happy with your stats.
Awesome thank you so much

Has this changed over the past 11 or so years? Are these metrics still considered competitive for INTEL?

Alright guys I got to ask what my chances are of getting Pilot or NFO. I'm absolutely okay with either, dad was an NFO on P-8s.
I currently hold a 2.7 GPA at Auburn university and graduate with an Aviation management degree, BS, also got my private pilot license at Auburn University with 120ish hours of flight time.
My ASTB is as follows, 54 6,6,6 and got my letters of recommendations from O6 and O5s. Also got my officer interviews done by O5s and O6 pilots and NFOs. Established a wrestling club at auburn university, being the Vice President of the club for 2 years. A couple of serving jobs throughout college to help pay for it etc.
Just want to know your guys thoughts on me getting accepted for either Pilot or NFO, my recruiter says ill get immediately selected for NFO, but after reading some of these posts, my hope has steadied. Any advice would be greatly appreciated guys!

Why do you feel you won’t get I Select?
Check out the pilot and nfo board threads, there is also a spreadsheet that shows stats.
Both are unofficial means to see how you will stack against others.

Low GPA to be honest, but I feel as if my Aviation Management degree will help out tons, as my Major GPA is a 3.7, cumulative is just low because i wasn't cut out for engineering when I first got to college

I should have checked earlier. You are not eligible for I select because of your cumulative GPA. Source: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Porta...NFO_Nov-2023.pdf?ver=wPGLcbfwtNUYoWPi9Me5Uw==
Defer you to check out the other forums/etc. I advised above.

Do you think my application is competitive?
Should I wait until June for the job market to recover, or should I continue with the process?

With that GPA, you probably should retake the OAR to be eligible for immediate select. I think the mininum OAR for immediate select is 49.

Take the 1-2 minutes to search around the forums. Immediate select, or I select, has been covered in detail on here.
