warrenw1993, do you want take the $1 or double it give it to the next person?
I’m with you on this one. The thing my recruiter stressed to me was the examination of the “whole person” who submitted the application.
While it’s been hashed out on here plenty that the ASTB is important, and to many is considered the most significant predictor of performance in flight school, I would assume that having a CFI and commercial cert removes doubts there.
Given your certs, I’m curious to know how your API / Primary goes, and what the lessons will be like for you, versus an applicant with single digits of flight hours or less.
Congratulations to you

OAR doesn't matter for really any designator unless it requires a waiver, and 7's have historically been a 50/50 shot, when the final number come out it will really tell the tale, often recruiters get nervous about submitting people for many reasons or listen to rumors, sometimes that results in fewer people at board which is great who's recruiters just do their job correctly.
Whatever happened for whatever reason I’m just happy how it turned out for me. I hope most of the folks here get a good call soon!

I had a 57 7/8/8 with SNA as first and NFO second and got picked up for NFO with no Flight experience. Just someone who works in finance. I'm thinking the flight matter some bit. Was wishing for pilot but the NFO got me so exited either way. Good luck to the rest that haven't heard yet!

Whole person concept is what they teach, but what happens in the real world is a different story, now Supply really does look at that, but more so after they see the really good GPA, same with IWC and CEC. They will look for the higher GPA's then start digging, Aviation goes for the higher PFAR and FOFAR scores and that is data compiled over at least 15 years now.I’m with you on this one.

Generally those with flight experience score higher on the ASTB which gives the perception that flight experience helps with the selection, and in a round about way it does as it helps with the scores.

Those who put down SNA and SNFO on the same application almost always are picked for SNFO, offhand I can't think of a person who put both down and was picked for SNA, that doesn't mean they are out there but too many have done what you did and were disappointed thinking they had a great shot at SNA, many did in fact have very good scores and flight experience.

Anyone on active duty see a “Y” on BOL or the list on the sharepoint?

I agree with you on that. From what I have heard, prior flight experience only becomes a problem when civilian flying habits need to be forgotten and military habits need to be picked up, like communication. I think that the actual experience on being in coordinated and controlled flight has to help you later on.
