Recent Selectees

Just wondering if we have any recent selectees on here. What were your stats? How many boards did it take before you were selected? Just trying to find out what a competitive package looks like. Thanks in advance.

My bad..should have said SNA BDCP selectees. Yes, I know about the ongoing Board results thread, unfortunately (not for them however,congrats to all) they are OCS selectees. I am trying to get a picture of current BDCP stats, that is why I did not use the search, plenty of stuff there from 12+ months ago but not recently. Thanks

I was selected for NFO, according to my recruiter via a phone call this morning. I'm not too sure on the terminology ...? Not final select, I believe, because that final paperwork hasn't been submitted, though swearing in should occur somewhere in the near future (a.k.a. while it's stil 2006). Hopefully this helps, Bluenose...?

When you are a non select it is hard to figure out if you missed by a mile or an inch. I am also trying to figure out what area of my app I should improve.

I was selected end of July for the Pilot BDCP. It definately took forever. It went through two boards. The initial board where I got "pro req'ed" or something, then about 13 years later after I did the MEPS physical (which got lost...twice) and finished the EPSQ (lost once) it went to a final select board. The EPSQ is what slowed me down the most. Trying to find everyone from everywhere i have lived was rather hard. (Took ASTB Nov. 19, 2005---final select July 26th, 2006)

As for my scores,
OAR 65, 8/8/7, the 7 was in navigation. G.P.A. 3.36 Mechanical Engineering, LA TECH. About to be a Junior.

I was a professional aviation major for 1 quarter. I used my private pilot book to study the basics in the aviation. If your scores are a little low consider buying the ASTB books on Amazon. Some questions were the same concepts just different #'s. You can get a deal with two books, just search ASTB on Amazon. They have practice sections that explain how to approach the problems, and practice exams for the flight exam for each branch...just do them all, it is good practice.

If you need anything else.....just post it.

Thanks that is the kind of info I'm looking for. I think my OAR of 54 might have been a bit low.

That isn't a Low OAR. If you plan on taking the ASTB again focus on the Math and verbal when you are studying. Don't forget about the pilot crap, but doing well on the math and verbal sections should pull up your OAR. There is a good book, check out the ASTB forum, and there is a post for Math books. You can see what people think about it. They sell it at barnes and noble. That is just one idea.

Thanks, yeah it is not a low OAR. In fact I was pretty proud of it right up to the non select! After looking here I can see it is most likely a little low in such a competitive program. I wish they would give what the average was for the most recent selected, it would help to figure where you are.

What did your other stats look like? You are making me feel nervious about my 50.

Reapplying for OCS

Hey Guys,

I am new to this forum. I applied for OCS in January but I was not selected. I am now considering reapplying again in October and probably retake the ASTB. In the last exam, my AQR was low but I scored a 45 in the OAR part. GPA...3.2 Electrical Engineering and I am currently doing my masters thesis. Been in the Navy for 8 years...any advice from you guys?

Study up for the ASTB and raise those scores! That and apply until you get picked up or until the Navy takes out a restraining order against you....
