In the "what the NRC considers competitive" thread I thought flight experience was a positive for pilot/nfo applicants

I'm not new to the thread, but I have been observing behind the screen. I'm still anxiously awaiting information!! Congrats to all of those who have got great results. Hopefully mine comes in soon!!!
Congratulations to everyone who has been selected and best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear back.
I just got the call from my recruiter and I unfortunately was not selected. I'll be going over my application with a fine-toothed comb with my recruiter to see what we can tweak and tighten up, then reapplying for the October board.
For all attending, good luck at OCS!

How were you not with your scores? I'm surprised. Good luck next board!

Quite surprised you weren't selected. Maybe more LORs will help.
You won’t be able to apply to consecutive boards. You’ll have to wait until the board after.
Yeah, my recruiter said he was surprised, too. It is what it is, though. I figured it would be like applying for college where it can be a bit of a crapshoot.
That said, I'll be reaching out to more people I have worked with or studied under while at university to snag two more LORs. Things got a bit tight time-wise toward the end of the quarter/application cycle, but it was my fault for letting an extra LOR slip through the crack. We'll go over my personal statement, too, and see if it needs some more work.
Ahhh, I did not know that; thanks for the gouge. Well, no worries, I'll hurry up and wait. XD

what is says =/= reality, I have seen many guys with private license, even those who were CFI that were given a "N" because of low ASTB scores.

for Aviation LOR's don't do much, all about the ASTB which yours is good, they may have just had low SNFO spots.

Recruiter called me.
Pro Rec Y for Pilot!
Wonder how board picked me with low scores... but anyways congrats to everyone else!

Following this thread and waiting for a call is going to kill me

I feel the same way!!
Also good to know, thanks! Yeah, maybe they had few NFO slots.
Whatever the reason, I'm determined and I'll reapply to the next board I'm able to, which is looking like the 01.27.20 board. If that doesn't pan out, then I'll look to other communities.
I'm just confused because people with altogether lower scores than you got ProRec Y for SNFO. If LORs and your statement dont matter, then its kind of arbitrary, and that's worrying.

Pretty bizarre given his scores, and frustrating to say the least. I don't know how the board does it but perhaps they run through applications until they get the numbers they need and then call it a day? There were kind of an abnormally high amount of applicants this time around from what I've heard.
