You are entering the Officer selection process at an extremely competitive time. The
Marine Corps is currently accepting the fewest number of officer candidates that it has in the last eleven years and the number of qualified individuals who desire that coveted ticket to
Officer Candidates School (OCS) only continues to increase. The OCS selection board evaluates applicants based upon three categories; 25% of their evaluation is Physical Fitness, 25% is
Academics, and 50% is Leadership. While Leadership is the majority of the aggregate score, sound academics and physicality must be ensured before any leadership qualities can be highlighted. Not coincidentally, this 25/25/50 criteria used to evaluate Candidates at OCS and is exactly how I evaluate applicants who work with Officer Selection Team Milwaukee.

Because of this, the board is using what is known as the "whole person" concept to make its selections. i.e. What does this applicant look like as a whole, beyond
