31OCT22 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[kathelim]

Question for active duty applicants, how do we find out any results (at board/pro-rec) if we don’t have recruiters? I know some priors were informed by their CO, but my CO is in Fort Worth (I’m in DC) and quite a challenge to reach.

Thanks you ☺️

Results will show on BOL - Advancement/Selection Boards

first time applying, female, chem bachelors 2.9 GPA, scores are 6 5 6, OAR 51 with a strong motivational letter and a bunch of extracurricular activities, to include senior Civil air patrol search and rescue squadron, and 61 flight hours. Recruiter says I’ll be just fine, honest thoughts?

Are you applying SNA, SNFO, or both?

Is it too early to email Paul to see if my package went to the board?

The consensus seems to be that the PFAR is the most important score, and that a 7 is where you start to be more competitive.

And that’s completely understandable, I might retake the exam in December if this time I’m told a no. I also heard that they pay attention to the motivational statement as much as scores because they want someone with a good head on their shoulders. Does that sound accurate?

According to what I read on here, it sounds like they really only care about the PFAR

Someone with juice will post the at board list and results here. Or someone’s recruiter gives them a copy. Usually your coc notifies you if BOL doesn’t have the results first.

If you are AD he will sent a confirmation email.

apparently there's been people whose motivational statement was a single sentence, since their PFAR as an 8-9

I'll say this, a really good motivational statement can't hurt you, but if you need your motivational statement to be a deciding factor in your package, you should just try to improve the PFAR
