I wasn't under the impression this is how it works. To my knowledge, they still took your class ranking, not a new revised ranking of only the applicants that submitted for ENJJPT, though I may be wrong.
I forgot to reply to this yesterday. Yes, you maybe correct, BUT think of it in a different aspect.
1. The CoC can move that rank to a limited degree.
~ They have guidance on how to rank them, but they also know OPR/PRFs as a career officer.
2. The last time I saw the stats (baseops.net) regarding ENJJPT, one thing they all had in common was above a 93 PCSM.
~ They probably want that high of a PCSM for chance of success/wing rate.
~ I do not know if the CoC can use this as a reason to move them from the top 50% to top 20%, but if they can, than the ranking will change. Same can be said if they can use the AFOQT scores.
3. Again SFT ranking is part of the equation for all cadets. Chances are those that are DG will rise higher in positions held within the unit.
~ CoC can move them up again.
Thus, even if you are correct, and I am not saying you are not; I am just saying I found 3 ways to raise their ranking. Great CoCs want to support their cadets, if feasible....IOWS they believe they are competitive.
ENJPPT is insanely competitive. I think they only have 8 classes a year compared to 14 for the other UPT bases. Anyone that is offered it is lucky impo, but always remember this is like being the smartest kid in HS admitted to MIT, once you are there, you are in a new pool where everyone is your equal. Same is true for UPT and every rated slot. The slate is wiped clean. Nobody cares that you were the CWC or top 1% of your academic class. They care about now and you keeping up to their standards as a student from academics to simulators to flying.
