Thanks for getting the thread started! I've been told that it's possible SNA slots may be capped for FY25 prior to this 04NOV24 board convening - anyone else hear something similar from their recruiter?

What does your recruiter mean by capped? I haven’t heard anything.

 

[GeorgiaBlake]

I have not, but I also haven’t heard about really anything in general. What do you mean by capped? Like no more, or much more selective?

Capped as in no more slots for the fiscal year, potentially

I find that hard to believe. There wouldn’t be a board if there weren’t slots. But what do I know

My reaction as well haha. Hopefully someone can chime in with some more insight. Obviously not trying to stir anything up or add any stress to our plates here, just curious if others have heard the same. Most likely a nothing burger

I read somewhere the last board had a 95% acceptance rate…, I dont think it would logically make sense to go from 95 to 0. Or maybe it does 😳

Per @exNavyOffRec's comments on previous board forums, the total slots available for the fiscal year are calculated and then divided among the boards. The acceptance rates per board depends on the amount of applicants.

The quota I saw for FY25 was around 330 for SNA and 170 for NFO. They are projected to succeed in filling all slots. Not sure how many have been selected this FY and I'm sure its subject to change, but seems like applying to the first few boards increases your chances. They have cancelled boards in the past because quotas have already been filled, happened to me last year and then I hit the age limit for SNA.

What was the the date of the board you tried applying to last year? When did they cancel?

Sorry to hear that brotha. I can only imagine. Were you able to get an age waiver?

So, in short one board's results shouldn't affect the following boards?

Generally yes as long as a board doesn't do something out of the norm and as long as NRC continues to do what they have done for 20 some odd years.

The rate would of course change based on the number of applicants.
