AFROTC EA due date

JK about the hopes…

I guess we shouldn't be surprised if slots are slashed, I mean there's a VSP, no pay for SFT, and one less max. It is interesting that the DODMERB and AFOQT don't weed more people out by the time of nominations.

If you are at a large detachment, how would the CoC be able to effectively rank you if you haven't had a lot of face time? Would 200's get the leg up with 250's and 500's?

The only way a cadet should feel safe for selection is if they are in the top 1/3, carrying at least a 3.1+ (tech, 3.4+ non-tech). PFA of 97+, and an AFOQT that is at least in the high 80s.

For the AFOQT which categories are the most important in regards to EA's?
My DS is good on the ranking, GPA and PFA....For the AFOQT his highest scores were for Pilot and Nav.....but he is going for a tech slot. His lowest score was in verbal...and that was closer to a 40 than a high 80. ??
 
ERAU, my understanding from talking to my DS was that the AFOQT score would only be used for those cadets competing on the rated board. CC ranking 40%, AFOQT 10%, cGPA 20%, PFA 15%, and ACT/SAT 15%. No change in the formula for the other boards. Once again this info is only a rumor until confirmed.
 
Well that is interesting seeing as how the SAT can be converted from the AFOQT. So if you have a better AFOQT, do you get to use it twice? So the AFOQT alone would be 35%?

For the regular EA selection, the only AFOQT score being used (if it is taking place of SAT) is the Academic Aptitude, if i remember correctly.

For the rated board AFOQT counts as AFOQT pilot or nav score. SAT in the rated board can be AFOQT Academic Aptitude score if it is higher than the SAT.

Have you seen the SATE conversion chart on the AFROTCI 36-2011? It is a chart that converts either an AFOQT AA score, ACT score, or SAT score into a SATE score. The highest converted score is the score AF uses to compute PSP Order of Merit

It is attachment #21 on page 287 of the AFROTCI 36-2011 and is worth 15% of the total score.

What category will the board be looking at from the AFOQT for the rated board for the 10%? Pilot/Nav???
 
yea...I was in the middle of typing that last post or I wouldn't had asked such a recently answered question.....
 
PSP Order of Merit (OM) Factors

FACTORS WEIGHT
RSS (Note 1) 50%
Cumulative GPA 20%
PFA 15%
SAT-E (Note 2) 15%

NOTES:
The formula for calculating RSS is
((1-R/C)+0.5/C)*10) Where R = DCR and C = Class size

The SAT-E is the best of the S.A.T.,ACT or AFOQT-AA converted to SAT-E used only for selection processing (see conversion chart on Attachment 21)


Sorry...my chart didn't paste as a chart.... go figure
 
ERAU, like your DS, mine will also be competing on the tech board. The PSP chart you posted should be correct regarding how their OML's are calculated. The change I posted only affects cadets competing on the rated board.
 
understood

It however interesting how different parts of the AFOQT are used in different factors making up the entire ranking for the rated slots..

The pilot/Nav for the 10% for the rated
and
AA for the SATE...if the numbers convert higher than best SAT/ACT score.. 15%
 
I had my midterm counseling with one of the cadre last week who briefed me about the Enrollment Allocation process for the rated board. I am going for the rated board and from what I remember it was as follows:

10% - Rated score (Based on AFOQT)
40% - CC ranking
20% - CGPA
15% - PFA
15% - SAT/ACT

I believe this is only for the rated board and the other boards are the usual score, but don't quote me on that.

My detachment originally started with 22 this semester, we are now down to 15 and 11 of us got EA packages sent. We had 12 go last year at 100% acceptance.
 
What if someone doesn't get a rated EA? Do they now get merged into the non-rated board? Or just told they weren't selected?
 
Not sure, but I have heard that there will be very few EA slots for non tech/non rated. I believe that is why many non techs decided to compete on the rated board, to increase their chance at an EA.

According to my cadre its one board and you're done. It does go against historical trends where people that did not get slots from Tech or Language would roll over to the Nontech Board.
 
With everyone going rated, it might be better to of gone non-rated then apply to the rated board later. Which contradicts what our Cadre said (being that if you go rated you have a better shot).

That's what I was just thinking.....

It just may be that so many cadets got "talked into" going rated that those that decided to stick it out in the non-tech, non-rated pool could end up with a higher percentage rate of EA's than anybody...

I wonder how many Rated EA slots are going to be allocated..
Since this is the first time that cadets have had to decide before SFT than there is no history to go in regards to what is "typical" it should get interesting...
