How can I determine the competitiveness of my 72D packet?

I have wrapped up my packet for the 72D Environmental Science and Engineering MOS direct commission and have gotten good feedback from my recruiter and mentors but wanted to see if I have a good chance of getting picked up as I know the board has 200 applications to look at for 10 slots.
My undergraduate degree is in Biology where I got a 3.69 GPA and I obtained my MPH in June. For my job on the civilian side, I teach Biology Labs and do research for a University. I also got my five LOR one being from an ESEO LTC and another from a Preventive Medicine COL
Would I be considered in a good position to be looked at?

Good luck. Unless you can see everyone's packets, you will never know how yours compares.

Yeah, you’ll be pretty competitive. Any GPA above a 3.5 in a natural or environmental science discipline will net you high board points. Likewise, very few selectees already have an MPH as well (provided it’s a CEPH accredited program). The only additional things that would strengthen your 72D board score is getting credentials that they award additional points for, such as the REHS/RS or CPH; and relevant public health work experience (not necessarily a deal breaker). Academically though, you’re in terrific shape. I’m a current AD 72D Captain.

Have you had it reviewed by some one in that MOS? They can say if it looks good or not, far better than the averageJoe.
