Decision Time - Need help from doctors

[RockyMtnNFO]

Ok, thanks for the help so far. So assuming that the medical thing turns out to be waiverable (or not need a waiver)...

1) Would I be accepted into a pilot slot at the same time I am accepted into OCS? That is, am I accepted into OCS (i.e. sign the dotted line) and then go to OCS and have a CHANCE of getting a slot (less desirable, obviously, because this commits me without knowing if I will get a slot) OR am I accepted into OCS AND into a pilot slot at the same time, therefore knowing if I will go to pilot training BEFORE I sign the dotted line?

2) What are the acceptance rates for OCS/pilot slots these days? I should add that I expect myself to be rather competitive, UGPA 3.7 with highest honors and distinction, GGPA 3.8, SAT 1400, travelled all over the world, haven't taken Officer qualifying test or anything but (as a point of reference) ASVAB (which I took in high school) I got in the 99th percentile. How competitive would I be?

Thanks!

You would be very competetive if you had High ASTB scores. I just have one question for you.

DO YOU LOVE AMERICA!!?

Yes, of course.

So what would the timeline be? I am going out of the country from October until the end of February, so I dont think I would be able to do anything until then. When should I take the ASTB? March, April 2007? How many months does it take to study for it? How long does the entire packet take to go through (and lets assume for the moment that I will need a waiver for the LOC episodes, although of course I hope not) and go into OCS?

I believe regs state I must be comissioned before my 27th birthday (I am turning 25 this month) to be an aviator.

Also, does anyone know the answer to question #1 (Above)?

Thanks!
