I'll say this, a really good motivational statement can't hurt you, but if you need your motivational statement to be a deciding factor in your package, you should just try to improve the PFAR

Thank you and to everyone responding . I will be retaking the exam. I'm curious from past boards, some people seem to have really high scores and good GPA's but did not get selected. Any idea why?

And that’s completely understandable, I might retake the exam in December if this time I’m told a no. I also heard that they pay attention to the motivational statement as much as scores because they want someone with a good head on their shoulders. Does that sound accurate?

Aviation is unlike any other designator in that you take years (2-4) of the navys time and millions of the navys dollars just to train one sna/snfo. They want to see that you have aviation aptitude and the potential ability to fly a plane. Anything else is just a cherry on top but it wont solely get you selected. Judging by past spreadsheets ~7.5 is the average selection PFAR.

I usually hit on the PFAR and FOFAR issue so I will add this.

There are many people who apply and have low scores that don't get selected, quite a few have great qualities and would excel in other designators, if you only want to fly and the USN says "no" there are other avenues to look at with other services.

If you want to serve in the USN check out some of the other designators.

I am applying for the 31OCT22 board for NFO. I am a prior, had 10 professional references including two Captains, and scored a 51, 5, 6, 7 on my ASTB. Chances?
