Nice to know that ASTB is the priority between the two. I assume Degree of Study is looked at with GPA as well?

for aviation not really, they take really no time to look at much on the application except a few key things.

Rufio was saying in the "New Pilot/NFO Program Authorization Out" thread that the aviation calculator, which is mostly ASTB and GPA as far as I know, is becoming less important in selection. He didn't elaborate much though. What's your take?

The aviation calculator is fairly new, bottom line is ASTB gauges a persons chances of making it through flight school (excluding medical and life issues) and the USN needs people who have a good shot of getting through the pipeline.

Two went on Sunday. I was offered a slot there but couldn't get my life together in time. I just spoke to my recruiter and he said he's been checking (there is nothing currently out) and they should have FINSELs next week sometime.

I am in the "green zone" of the aviation calculation of 80.
Is this a good enough score to be selected? :/

I’m in the same bot as you. When you search for people with the same scores I have, 56 6/6/7 for pilot, all the ones who posted got in. Needs of the Navy, competitiveness, and other factors are at play too which could make this different. But I only took the ASTB once. Since there is nothing else to do while waiting, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I might need to test again.Im at the bottom haha

We have to remember that Air Warriors is probably a bit skewed to the upper end of the average due to the fact we’re all pro active and most of us aren’t just doing this for shits and giggles. However, yes, every board is different. Hopefully the last board is VERY similar to the selection of this board. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.my recruiter says that I have a high chance of getting selected but comparing my scores with all these guys on this thread, Im at the bottom haha
Like @Seniuram said, AW is going to have people who did really well because of all the gouge and tips on the site. No way I would have done as well with just the study books I ordered. Being in the green is great, there's definitely still a chance! A recruiter just posted the other day in an aviation page on FB requesting pilot applicants for the Navy saying the time to apply was now and that she would help these pilots get there. Though only a few responded seriously, that's good news for us! Keep your heads up until the end of the month and then hopefully it pans out in our favor ?

Have you guys ever considered that we might be having a little disadvantage because the academy graduates get the selections before us OCS guys? Since is May and im guessing they're graduated by now? Or I could be wrong and that doesn't factor into our chances of selection.
