Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my experience for anyone starting the process and looking for a realistic timeline.
Around June of last year I decided to fully commit to becoming an SNA. I studied hard for the ASTB for about two months and scored a 6/8/7. Since I knew ISEL was getting more competitive, I decided to retake it. After another month of studying, I somehow scored the exact same thing 6/8/7. Knowing I had one last attempt I really locked in a month later I took it for the third time and ended up with a 9/9/9. I submitted my package in early December with no waivers and a 3.27 GPA thinking I would get my date shortly after that.
Unfortunately, my recruiter accidentally filed the wrong paperwork, so my package got kicked back and had to be resubmitted. It was finally received on February 25.
Overall, it’s been a much longer journey than I expected, but that’s just how the process goes sometimes, and I still havent heard anything yet. I don’t want this to discourage anyone. I just wanted to share my experience so people have a more realistic idea of the timeline. Of course, everyone’s situation is different. I’ve talked to a couple of guys who submitted around the same time I did, and they already have OCS dates.
Stick with it and keep pushing! If anyone has any questions feel free to dm me, I am eager to help!
