Hello all,
I am a third year AFROTC cadet and am hoping to become a pilot. I took the TBAS recently and was disappointed in my PCSM score (31). I've heard everyone's score has dropped 20 points from TBAS 1.0 to TBAS 2.0, and it is very flight hours heavy (I have zero flight hours), but I was still hoping I wouldn't do so badly. I didn't think I completely nailed the TBAS, but when I finished the test, I felt like I did decently. With 1-2 flight hours (which is all I can afford in the month I have before my package goes in), My PCSM score would be about a 36.
I'm an okay applicant otherwise. With 1-2 flight hours, these would be my stats:
GPA: 3.89 (I'm a critical language major, if that helps/hurts anything)
PFA: 98
Commander's ranking: #1
FT ranking: middle third
PCSM: 36
I know someone last year who got a pilot slot with a 29 PCSM, and I heard someone got a pilot slot with a 7 PCSM (but I do not know him directly). However, I imagine these cases are few and far between.
All that being said, does anyone have any insight into whether or not I have a shot at becoming a pilot? If not pilot, do I stand a chance at any other rated position?
Thanks in advance, I know none of y'all are mindreaders, but I do appreciate hearing from those who know more than I do!
