How does the OML point system work?
I've been told gpa, PT, and LDAC scores are by far the most important, but I don't understand how the rest works with volunteering and extra curriculars. So I guess in short the question is what is necessary besides those 3 major parts? Thanks

all of it. it is not enough to just get mid level decent grades and participate in extra curricular. you must excel in all things you take on and be able to show you can juggle multiple things without letting any one suffer.
that means you not only need a 3.65 or better GPA, it needs to be a challenging major( think STEM), you need to not just be on a team sport, but be a Captain/co captain/Manager, you need a part time job, you need other leadership roles such as being a Fraternity President or President of the Forensics Club. you also need to spend a few hours a month volunteering at your local soup kitchen of animal shelter.
everyone one of those extras is a nudge towards being competitive for a commission and first dibs on what is offered when you do so.
