I did not get offered in the first board and was told I was given a score and my application will be sent on to the 2nd and 3rd board if necessary. Is this a good sign? Also, is this better than being placed on the merit list? I assume so.

So, as soon as you submit your application is it scored and then put on the list? Or does it wait to be scored for one of the board meetings... I guess I'm kind of confused
Thank you, that link helped a lot clarksonarmy! I just have one question about it though. What is the CBEF score and what is it made up of?
As I said in my blog post, it's not worth losing sleep over how the CBEF score is determined. Last year I had two applicants, one with clearly superior stats. The one with the better stats didn't get an offer when the other applicant did. When we questioned the result we were told that the CBEF score made the difference. Both eventually got an offer, and the one that ended up with the offer first declined the offer and enlisted into the Navy. Crazy process.
That is not funny, it is rational. Would you as a hiring manager hoping to hire your successor to follow you for years, rather hire a bright young graduate that has shown he/she wants to make a career at your company, or one who says that they want to work at your company because "everybody says it's a great place to be from", "a great place to start to springboard to a more lucrative job… They say that a lot about working at Disney… nobody every says it's a great place to work, only that it is a great job to have on your resume when you leave for a great job.That is funny.... Take the less qualifed because some goofy formula tells you that they are more likely to stay long term and they decline the offer! I was in the Army for four years and it appears some things never change!
