Would a PPL and a instrument rating help me get selected for WOFT and during WOFT ?

Currently have my ppl and with around 50 credit hours for college. I’m deploying this October for a year and want to apply when I get back. I’m close to around a 150 flight hours + sim time. Just wondering if it would help. I’ve heard mixed things about having flight time coming in. Some say they don’t care if you have flight time but I doubt that. Any answers are appreciated :)

doesn't seem to me that it would be a bad thing. you already have familiarity with aircraft. are your hours in helicopter? small prop aircraft?

nobody knows what the board looks for. I applied with a PPL with instrument rating and didn't get selected so who knows lol
