Alright, its now a week away from the board date. Shouldn't the "auto selects" the people in the scores 75-100 get their results by now?
I'm sure they'll let us know when they know, no reason to keep you in the dark. Also the auto select and the aviation calc are not the same thing per my OR as well as what Rufio said on another thread. We just gotta sit tight and wait till the 23rd when my OR says they'll first start releasing the results.

What did Rufio say about it if you don't mind answering

Unless I misunderstood him he basically said that the calculator is a guide for recruiters to determine if a candidate is competitive. If you have a high score 85-90ish then the odds are in your favor, but the board doesn't use that number when selecting people. If you scroll back a few pages you can probably find it somewhere on here I think that's where it was mentioned.

That doesn’t impact getting an auto qual.

Thanks for the clarity so far on the auto-qual process.

Looking back at the Feb. board, it seems like the pre-selects met the same criteria as was laid out for April's early board (7s+ and ship in <60 days). At the beginning of this thread, you mentioned that applicants with an 85+ calculator score and no legal waivers stand a good chance of auto-qualifying -- is auto-qualifying separate from the pre-select/early-board process?

Same the month was going pretty fast until this Monday hit.

I think we all Just have to be patient little peasants and wait for Uncle Sam to tell us what to do. Only 6 days.

"Auto-select" takes effect the day of the board, as per what I've read on here somewhere and from my OR.
So that's when the 60-day timer starts? That pre-board? Not the official board date?

Have any waivers? I'm not auto selected due to a medical waiver in my kit.
My rec said it depends on the waiver. I have a minor misdemeanor so he said I can still go AQ. Is that set in stone?

I was pre-selected and was willing to leave within 60 days but I was told I wouldn't have an actual OCS date until after my transcripts are finalized which is May 22nd. My OR said it would likely be mid-June to early July. A bit later than expected but more time to spend at the lake studying before leaving lol. Did anyone else graduate this semester and given any more details than I have about OCS start dates?

I was also selected in April and graduated a week and a half ago. My OR said he submitted my transcripts Monday and that I should have FINSEL within a week or so. He originally told me to prepare for 10 JUN but that it's now looking like 1 JUL which I think you would be on track for as well.

I found this OCS schedule for the remaining FY on another thread. Don't quote me on it, but it matches with the dates my OR has told me.
