Ok, I officially know that I'm gonna be on edge the next few weeks. I just got an email from my recruiter and before I opened it my heart sunk and I got nervous and then though DAMN THAT WAS FAST. But it was just to tell me everything was in order and my package was in TN. uggggggg

Hey Ghost,

Quick quest ..... what are the new minimums. I just took the test and got 5's across the board and my oar was 47. Do I have a chance?

Thanks

When you reapply you have to submit a letter of reconsideration. In that letter they want to see improvement in some area. Given your other stats, I would want to see your ASTB scores, I would bet they are below the new minimums. How long ago did you put your application in?

Gonna be as nice as possible here Spin. You need to retake the ASTB. Your AQR needs to be a 6 and your PFAR needs to be a 7. Get the marine study guide and study your butt off and look over the arco to get your spacial stuff down. If that was your first time you have to wait 30 days to kick this test's ass.

what were the old standards,, my recruiter did not even know that vision standards had changed to 20/40,,,,so im willing to bet he let me submit a below minnimum score on the atsb....is it harder to get in when you have to check in the box that u have been rejected

I don't think so rush. getting in after getting rejected doesn't mess your chances up. You probably weren't rejected for not being qualified. There was just too many applications. Anyway the miniumums for the ASTB are low. the official ones are like 3,4,4 AQR, PFAR, FOFAR but the board I guess is looking for 6,7,6. but the official ones ar still low. So you look like you got rejected because of too many applicants. I think that this will actually help you in getting in the next time.

man the wait is killing me

Being rejected does not hurt your chances of getting in. I was rejected and still got in the second time I applied.

 

[Adrenaline Rush]

how long did you wait to reapply??

 

[ghost_ttu]

You have 6 months to reapply with the same package. Past 6 months you have to get new LOR's, transcripts, PRT, etc.

I waited five months to finish a semester of college and then reapplied.

 

[Adrenaline Rush]

u guys think if it i just have bad atsb scores, i should study then re take it and submit right away??

 

[ghost_ttu]

yes, you will have to wait 30 days to retake if it hasn't been that long. Did you find out your scores?

i took it in july so im good to go for that,,,and no the damn recruiter was out of the office (goes to show he doesnt care too much)...and by the way ghost i'd just like to say your very determined, i really hope you do get accepted, the team attitude here is what drives me to want to try this again

 

[ghost_ttu]

Thank you. And the man upstairs will take care of what needs to happen, I just have to meet him halfway and do my part. As for you, you seem very qualified and you have plenty of time so relax, have a good time in school and stay focused you don't have much to worry about it, you will get it eventually. Hopefully I'll see you there
