I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but if it isn't just let me know and I'll delete the posting. Sorry if I upset anyone!
I'm going to apply to the Naval Reactors Engineer position in the NUPOC program and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of my chances.

Dual degrees in mechanical engineering and physics with a concentration in nuclear engineering (for the MechE degree)
3.9 overall GPA
~3.95 mechanical/nuclear GPA
4.0 physics GPA
Will have 187 credit-hours by the time I graduate
Will have taken ~6 graduate level courses (not required) by graduation
Conducted research for two summers (related to nuclear terrorism)
Interned at a government contractor this past summer (related to nuclear terrorism)
Have a "Secret" security clearance
Working on a PWR simulator for my senior capstone project
Was a RA (resident assistant) for 2 years
I'm in my senior year now, so the GPA might change a little, but I'm planning on getting all A's this year. Once again, sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but if anyone could shed some insight into my chances, I would greatly appreciate it!
You've got a better then average chance of getting an interview.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to see the recruiter on Saturday, hopefully he will repeat what you said.
One bit of correction, if you currently aren't working a project that requires your security clearance, then you do NOT have it. You "have held" it, but in the Civilian world it's revoked immediately after you do not have a need to know anymore. Minor detail, but since you're interested in the Nuclear Navy attention to detail is everything.
