Hey Zarthul,
There are no real weak points from what you presented (your ECs aren't a huge issue because of your level of service), but there are two major areas of each application where you could still blow it:
1. Career Goals. You didn't provide your goals in here, so it's hard to say what will come of this, but I will say that this is often where exceptional military applicants trip up. There is a whole world of businesses that want former military working for them, but so many applicants just don't know how to piece it together. It starts with understanding the industry that you want to get into, and the skills necessary to be good in that job. Then you need to take those skills and draw lines from your own experiences that show you have them. From there, you need to add the inspiration for your long-term goals and a clear sense of timing and then you will on your way. These take serious work, so I encourage you to put in the time.
2. School "DNA." The other thing that can make (especially) or break an app is expressing school fit. If you do bare bones research and hit the surface stuff, the school goes "eh" and they may or may not admit you on your merits, appropriateness of the degree, and other factors. But if they already like you, and then they see that you are built for that school, they go crazy for that. So you will want to really nail the heartbeat of the programs.
If you hit both of those marks (and then interview well), you are going to do great. If you blow one of these two, you could be sweating it like the rest of the pack!
Hope this helps.
Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti
