If your working while getting a masters, no problem, if your living off your parents during your masters.... then a pattern starts to form.
Go gettem!

It's been 30 years since I lived with my parents, so I guess I'm ok there. Thanks for the info.

I had a similar scenario. I paid for the whole thing myself. Engineering degree. No student loans when I finished.

The background check folks ended up wanting a copy of my high school transcript after the CJO...you may get one just in case since they can be a bit more of a challenge to acquire.

I received the CJO with no Masters. It helps to have a diverse background on your application.

A friend of mine had the same thing. No masters and got the invite - he was all civilian. He did have a good GPA and finished the degree at 4 years, but those were obviously not the only quals.

It's a crap shoot figuring out what triggers the invite. There are some obvious factors that must be met, but it seems to be very left to figure out. I asked him if he did something different right before he got the invite to maybe help. He stated nothing, accept applying to any and every place from being tired of waiting on delta - maybe that is the trick

I really have no idea what they are truly looking for. List everything and anything
