Boards don't give feedback, that is what the PA is for.
Aviation doesn't care about motivational statements, they wan't people who have the best shot at getting through flight school.
If there are no other issues such as waivers then I would be a bit surprised you are a "N" too, now several years ago those with a "7" on PFAR would be a 50/50 shot, those with an "8" I never had one denied.
Yeah, i'm out of town working on an oil rig right now, but as soon as I get back home, i'll post it on here.
Thanks for your reply, I didn't need any waivers at all, I did notice a lot of people applying had LOR's from retired pilots and other high ranking officers. The only LOR I have is from my professor. Do you know if LORs are a big deal to the board?

will LOR's help get you through flight school?
I see your point, would you recommend that I retake the ASTB to try and get a better score, or just wait until the next board?

I highly doubt that your LORs or motivational statement were the reasons why you got a “N”. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be properly completed, but you’re scores alone, from what I’ve seen, are more than enough to get you a “YES”. You’re 100% sure your recruiter said you got a “N”? or maybe you didn’t make the board due to incomplete documents or such.
Yeah, I called him back in June to make sure we had everything completed and he reassured me that it was. I will call him again though later this week to see if he got anymore information on why I got an N. I'm pretty sure he would have told me if I was missing any documents and missed the board when I called him yesterday for the results.
I was looking at your older posts as well as the Google doc... couldn't find your scores.. what were they?

Damn man! Hopefully this is something that can be worked out.. maybe even a clerical error at best. Best of luck!

According to recruiters on here, personal statements basically get thrown into the trash and aren't looked at. Any chance you missed deadline and your OR is trying to cover that?
As a 21yr old Mech Engineer with those scores and a 3.6...something else has to be going on.
Perhaps you're right, I figured he would just tell me he forgot some paperwork. He told me everything was complete in June and I called him again in July just to be sure I didn't have anything missing. In a way I hope he did just miss the deadline, because that means I still have a chance of being selected.

I just remember after the May board, one person was sad because they didn't get selected, gave their reason, then Rufio just said their recruiter missed the board because the reason was BS.
I've only seen one person here get denied with your scores and they had a criminal waiver. Disclaimer: only been here for like, 4 months.

Long time lurker, first time poster. PROREC-Y SNA checking in for this board at 58 7/7/7, B.S. Biology, 3.7, 25M. I have thoroughly enjoyed peppergunner peppering the forums with useful tidbits and morale, as well as gunning for a FINSEL. Best of luck to all!
