How competitive should I be for Green to Gold ADO?

Don't waste time waiting.. just do it. The Army has that program for a reason. It needs officers!!

Think about what is different between you and your peers. Everyone has favorable recommendations - they're either favorable or glowing. Your recommendations come from a pretty average level, as opposed to coming from an O6 or O7. Everyone should have high GPA and APFT scores. Below 300 APFT and below 3.75 GPA are probably pretty average.

So, what's left? NCOER ratings, duty assignments, additional accomplishments, and extra curricular activities. Your duty position had you in an E7 spot, working ahead of your grade and you were rated ahead of your peers for that so that sets you apart. Those show that you can ACTUALLY do the job as opposed to simply having the potential to do the job. The GPA part is for determining if you'll actually succeed at your G2G college portion. If you were going for a graduate degree, that might cause some concerns about your ability to finish school. But for an undergrad, that's a very successful GPA.

Submit the current packet. If you don’t make it, submit it again. 3.5 GPA is pretty good but you can always improve simultaneously while submitting for the board. If you still haven’t been selected for G2G by the time you get your Bachelor’s degree, or get close to getting it, submit an OCS packet.
