I'm kind of curious if my OSO can put me up for that board as well. Although it looks like your scores are wayyy above mine anyway.

The report your OSO writes about you is one of the most important aspects of your package, almost as important as your PFT score. One of the reasons you may have been a non-selected was that there was not enough time for your OSO to get to know you (i.e. your character, how you operate, how you deal with frustration, etc.), and that probably played a factor is his evaluation of you. BUT, that is just my thought on what may have happened. Take it with a grain of salt.

I'll be going back up for it as well.
I also found out why I wasn't selected for the previous board. As @TheBird mentioned, my evaluation was negative. My OSO told me he wasn't satisfied with my leadership at our first pool function and I don't blame him because I did fucking awful. I didn't really have a leadership position at our previous function, but he said I did better, so I guess we'll see what happens.
Good luck to you all.

Good luck Gentlemen, hope to see you guys at OCS, that is If I get selected this board.
300 PFT 3.06 GPA 87 ASVAB 6/6/6 54 ASTB. Wish I was a little smarter, I'm actually really worried that I'm not going to be selected because of my low placement scores and GPA. I really hope my PFT makes up for it. The only leadership experience I've got to show for at the moment is leading PT a few times for all the officer applicants at my University. Maybe being prior service Air Force will help a little. If anything it might get a few chuckles from the board members.
Again I really hope to see you guys at OCS!

Did anyone here get selected this board? I did not, OSO told me the details since he was at the board. There was only one Air slot in our region and 17 applicants. Of those 17 I was stacked as number 2. It hurts to be in second place, oh well more time to improve my package.
What kind of pool functions you guys have where you are being put in leadership positions? I do not recall anything like this going through, save for mini-OCS. All we did in our get togethers was to PT and drink.

I was not selected on the last board as well. My situation was similar to you. My OSO said that it was very similar between the selected individual and myself. So similar that it essentially came down to a coin toss as the tie breaker! I don't know of this was a figure of speech, but it struck me as odd haha. Seems to be a cruel way to do it, but if you're so similar I guess I can see how it makes sense.
My OSO also let me know that this board is the one in which they select a lot of female air applicants. Thus the low number (1) of male air selects.
For what it's worth, I had 296 PFT, 8/8/9 64 astb, great letters, 3.3 in economics, lots and lots of community service and leadership.
