If someone has stellar scores but doesn't make it, I think it'd be because of moral or medical waivers...? @exNavyOffRec would have better experience with that.

Tell me about it! I was waiting for the Oct/Nov board results for 6 weeks just to find out my package got rolled to January. The wait will definitely be the death of me... ?

go nuts...be prepared to have a lot of "this? seriously???" moments hahahaha
I was talking to another applicant about it.....at the end of the day, I guess your recruiter's the last line of defense when it comes to judgement of character....... like if I was on their shoes and someone showed up with great scores, great physical traits and LoRs and what not...but after talking to them I realized that they were kind of a piece of shit....the kind that "I would not want in my Navy" , idk I probably not move forward with them...but again I'm not a recruiter, and these kinds of things are kind of subjective to the person, so there's that....I wanna say they do try to gauge that kind of stuff anyways

Does that have any impact on the boards you think?

I mean in the ASPR form or whatever the name is, there's a slot for your recruiter to fill that says "not recommended, recommended and highly recommended" I would think that by checking any of the latter two, it indicates that your recruiter has interviewed you, albeit, informally and based on his/her judgement you are someone with a character worthy of becoming a Naval Officer....so....that part would already be taken care off by the time your package gets to the board, if you will......again....highly subjective thing to judge....and it is what I personally think kind of goes on regarding this subject

aviation that area doesn't matter, a few others it can.
@exNavyOffRec does ones OR's recommendation mean anything in the boards? Or is it more of a formality?

I know 2 aviators who were diagnosed with celiac's after they rec'd their wings, neither are still flying, both are still in the USN. They were told they could continue to fly but were considered non-deployable due to celiacs, that meant their careers would essentially be over for aviation in the communities they were in, so they lateral transferred to designators where that wasn't an issue.

strictly a formality for aviation
Sorry, Saw your original post after the refresh.
So raw scores mean everything. That's almost disheartening. You would think the approach would be far more dynamic.

It is all about the chances of getting through flight school, less attrition means less money spent.
I have also seen you say that they do not really look at the OAR. Therefore, I would assume they really just look at the PFAR/FOFAR given that is the main areas a pilot will use.
Damn that sucks. There's a few aircrewmem at my squadron who got diagnosed but both still have their wings (aircrew). I wonder if it's stricter for aviators or based on severity of the condition.
Of course, Flight Med also likes to down flyers a week after getting OTC allergy meds and I spent two weeks getting EKGs down on my heart because my heart rate was "too low" (something that seems to be fairly common) so I'm not going to pretend to understand the system. ?

severity could be a factor, I don't know too much about how severe there cases were, when you don't know someone too well you tend not to deep dive in their medical history, unless you are a recruiter lol. I still remember getting med docs for an applicant that had breast reduction surgery.
