Sir, Thanks for all the information! I am currently enlisted in the Corps and have been in for 9. I'm a staff sergeant and decided to recently try to commission! Your videos don't make me as scared anymore!
I’m 36 years of age, with 8 years prior service active duty time along with 3 reserve years. I’ll have my B.S. degree this December, Fall 2019 semester.
Hey there. I’m a law contract. First semester law school had a 3.43 GPA. I have 6 good references. 253 PFT. My selection board meets in one week and I have been seeing that if I get over 260 I should have about a 90% chance of getting selected. Is that still true to this day?
I have tons of questions: 1. 3.4 Crimj Masters Degree. (What are my chances) 2. My Asvab is 35-45 (low I know) 3. I got offered a opportunity to go for it What can I really expect
Thanks for the video! In your opinion, can you rate the importance of the categories (i.e. GPA, PFT, references, past leadership experience, etc) in order? Also, has OCS acceptance rate gone up in the past 2 years or so?Currently a college senior with 1 year left to try and boost my 2.9 GPA. Gym rat, so not worried about PFT personally but have no leadership experience or completed extra-curricular activities.
1- Your OSO's write up about you; their recommendation. 2- PFT 3- Anything else that stick out that. It could be any significant volunteer service, special letter of recommendation from a high ranking officer, etc.
How important is past leadership experience? I read they teach leadership at ocs, but I imagine they would still want to have some pre-existing experience before you go. If I don't have a lot of leadership experience of my application will it significantly hurt my chances?
My GPA isn’t a all that great, last I check I have a 2.7. And I was wondering if I were to do good in every other area could I still get selected? Or should I just go enlisted?
Thank you Capt.Dubon! For the candidates who scored 275 or below on the PFT, are they fit enough to complete PT events at OCS? They will get in a bit better shape by the time they report for the class, but I keep hearing "If you don't run under 21 minutes for 3 miles, you'll fall back on majority of PT events cause it's a run academy!".
Yes it will be hard but with some heart and determination it is possible. No sense in overthinking it. Just train hard and set yourself up for success. You will thank yourself when the 1st pft rolls around before pickup day. Running 20 miles a week is minimum in my opinion to avoid running injuries like stress fractures. Fractures are a good ticket home. (speaking from experience)
Good stats thus far. Hard to tell though because there is much more that goes into that? Hows your participation with the OSO? Team player? Leader? Etc..
