From what I was told there is an element of luck in making d1. Where you live, your gender, the need for officials. A lot of officials there now came in when NCAA went from 2 man to three man mechanics. There is currently a need for female officials in Womans basketball. So Woman will move up faster. There is always attrician due to retirement, and coaches no longer wanting to see certain officials and plain old fashion quitting. So good officials will always have a spot. But it is only the top 5% that even have a chance. I know a good official that didn't make it. I don't know why but he moved to Dallas so he would have a better chance next time.
