[Avionx]

Whoever sorted the Excel Sheet for this board...you are my hero.

Wait what happened to it. 3/4 of the scores are gone for me

Oh yeah, is someone reorganizing it? It wasn't like that before.

Only posting to make someone out there feel better about themselves😁. 53 6/6/7 2.0 gpa BA in a humanities field (yeah I know). Recruiter has been very nice, seems to think I have a good shot at SNA. Package is getting submitted soon, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. We'll see in September!

My buddy in Corpus has a History Master’s, degrees don’t matter once the training starts 😉

Aviation used to publicly put out 2.3 was the minimum, since it is no longer published it gives them flexibility, however I never personally seen a person get picked up with a GPA like that and don't think I have seen a person on this site with one that low.

Maybe you could be the first?

Alright gonna throw this at you all and see what you think. Got an OAR score of 54 and 6/6/6 on the ASTB. Got a 2.83 GPA in aviation management and graduated and got my private pilot license with about 120 hrs in the plane. Applying for SNA/SNFO. You all think I have a good chance of getting picked up for either? Recruiter is confident about SNFO but says a toss up for pilot.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I had some time to review the historical data in the Google Sheet. Over the past year, each of the 6 applicants with a 6/6/6 or lower (but no lower than 4/4/4) and a GPA below 3.0 who listed SNFO alone or SNA/SNFO was selected as an SNFO.

In contrast, among the three applicants with similar scores who listed only SNA, two were selected and one was not. The one who wasn't selected had a 48 ASTB, 4/5/5, and a 2.67 GPA.

If I were in your shoes, I’d personally only list SNA, but ultimately that’s your call. There are a lot of variables at play, but based on the data, it seems likely that if you list SNA/SNFO, you'll be selected for SNFO.

Also, I'm not trying to knock SNFO, it looks like an amazing job and is absolutely my second choice of any job in the Navy. I have just always dreamed of being the one behind the controls.
