I retook the ASTB this afternoon. I scored a 6/6/6 and a 57 OAR. My recruiter is telling me to wait a month until the new fiscal year starts to reapply (October), because he thinks there will be more slots then.

... My recruiter is telling me to wait a month until the new fiscal year starts to reapply (October), because he thinks there will be more slots then.

Do the boards have new slots starting in October, the beginning of the fiscal year, or around July, when they'll send future officers off to graduate in the new fiscal year?
