In general, for all branches, if you're not applying for a Professional field such as Medical or Law; your degree is practically irrelevant. What they look at is your scores on the Officer examination (different for each branch), as well as what your goals are, qualifications, and how you compete against others.
For those already enlisted such as myself, it is much more competitive. Your entire enlisted career will be a basis for judgment when competing for a position to go to OCS/OTS.
All I can say for those who are enlisted and hoping to cross over into the Officer world: make yourself stand out in as many good ways as possible now. Volunteer a lot, coordinate events (to exhibit leadership), and try to win awards.
