I am very concerned on which path I should take. I am awaiting to hear back about OCS. If I don't get accepted, should I wait 6 months and re-apply? Or go enlisted and immediately apply for OCS again?

My situation is that I am a 23/f with a degree, yet the jobs as a civilian aren't that great, and I want to be an MST, yet my score is not high enough (only 111). so I know that I will have to retake the ASVAB. How long is the wait for MST A-school?

(1) What degree do you have?
(2) How quickly can you re-take the ASVAB?
(3) If you really want to be an MST, why are you applying to OCS? Officers have a wide range of career paths/responsibilities, MOST of which have nothing to do with MST work.

30 Day suspension. TOS section 6i, posting on multiple accounts (SuperDuperFlyKat and billstopay).

Your recruiter should be able to tell you the current wait time for MST. Most the time it is a 24+ month wait.

You can re-take the ASVAB every 6 months to raise scores.

If the job situation is the deciding factor, I suggest going Enlisted and keep putting in your package while getting exposure/experience.
