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.

Makes sense, many out there just shoot for SNA only. Those who put down SNFO and get that spot even with SNA as first choice. I'm not familiar with the spots open for SNA vs SNFO if one has more than the other.

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 :)

Thank you! I am of course biased to believe it will help me, but plan to enter it with an open mind and start from the basics again.

Interesting metric. I put both, with SNA first, but my FOFAR isn't great so I'll be curious to see if that has any impact.
