So I am a Senior in College applying for Aviation in the Navy
I wanted to post my information and see what you all thought on my chances in being accepted as well as some general questions
About myself

Majors- Political Science and Psychology
ASTB - 6/6/6/54
PT- 55 push ups, 76 curl ups, 10:15 run
LOR's-

1 former employee - Fire Chief from Ocean Lifeguarding
About Me-
I am hoping to be the third generation Navy in my family (My father flew helos)
I have played Varsity Soccer at my college for the past 3 years and started when I was a freshmen
I have play jv basketball and lacrosse and played varsity of both while in highschool
I am the Class Gift Chair (an elected position to the class committee)
I am President of the Big Events Committee (A 22 person committee that brings musical acts to perform at the college)
I have been elected as a Judicial Board representative for my class twice (Jud Board is a disciplinary committee of the college)
I ran my first marathon (26.2 miles) at 19
I have a couple more activities but too many to post here
Basically I had a couple questions
1st, Is there any section I should look to specifically improve. (I am worried about my ASTB scores but my recruiter was unsure if they were competitive enough)
2nd- If I did take the ASTB's again is it my highest score or most recent? (I have heard contradicting statements)
3rd- What are your thoughts on my overall chances of being accepted?
4th- Any tips on a personal statement?
5th- Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Your stats and background look really good! Sounds like you have had a busy college experience. That said, this forum is for prior enlisted who do NOT have a degree yet. You will be applying for OCS unless you did NROTC or BDCP, not STA-21.
Your scores (from what I've heard and read about OCS on this website) are average, nothing special. If you retake the ASTB your most recent scores are used, doesn't matter if they are better or worse, so be cautious because you already are above the minimum for aviation. I would suggest posting this same post on the OCS topic (or maybe a moderator can move it). I'm sure we are all willing to help but we went through a different application process. I wish you the best with whatever you decide to do. From what you mentioned about yourself you have a good chance.
