FIFY.
While your GPA & ASTB scores are both qualifying, if non-select this time, your package will be more competitive if you retake the ASTB after a focused & serious study program. Rock star scores on the retake will greatly enhance your chances for selection.

I'm waiting on the same board, and it is excruciating!
My scores and GPA made me question things at first too. Wasnt sure if I wanted to wait and retake or send the package in. After talking with OR and family, I submitted it in. Was told it was the "over-all person" they are looking for. So along with my scores I have 5 strong LOR, I've played a sport on a professional level, and my OR told me my motivational statement is real strong. Fingers crossed. Will see how it all turns out
Nothing wrong with taking a shot now, if selected... grrr8; if not, retest & improve ASTB, then you have another shot or two dependent upon your launch, er [birth] date!

Which sport did you play?
We all just have to hang in there. It all will work out for the good. I believe that. My problem (to some) is the fact that I look ahead and look for the advantage. What I can be doing in the mean time to better have a hand up. Guess its the competitor in me
That is their problem, don't let it become yours.
Were it I, would try for at least 2 LORs from your college or pro coaches who came to know you (perhaps citing your leadership traits/potential & work ethic). These would add more quality to your package should you have to resubmit.

Yea I'm working on it. I had college professors/doctors send in LORs for me. Along with several service men E-9s and a Colonel. At the time it was difficult getting in LORs from coaches because the season in progress.
Fair warning, if you're still in good shape, you'll probably lose weight and come out of OCS in worse shape than you when you went in. Most of the more athletic guys like the seals and college athletes and whatnot (myself included; crosfitter here) ended up that way. Good luck with the app package.

TA, submit with the best application that you can put together, and just wait! I was selected with a 45 OAR 6 PFAR/5 FOFAR/ 4 AQR, and will be leaving for OCS in August sometime.
Scores are important, YES, I GOT THAT LOUD AND CLEAR............but I have later found out that it falls on how well-rounded of an applicant you are. Though, some of the vets with BTDT service would totally and whole-heartedly disagree with me
(sorry BzB, gotta let you know I'm still alive with that smart ass attitude )
And I assure you, they've all had to listen to me gripe, moan, b*tch, complain, scream, yell, pant, rant, etc. about my scores.............but I still got in, and I am more than ready for the best experience of my entire life, working together as one team to get through the hurdle of OCS by becoming new Ensigns in the Navy.
best of luck to you my friend. PM if you have any ?s.

Lose Weight!!?? I've already lost 20lbs to meet the weight requirement. Lost a ton of muscle mass. If I lose anymore I may disappear when I turn sideways
