In the end there is a formula for SFT.
GPA is a huge chunk of the formula. Tech/rated vs non-tech/non-rated are factors too.
~Only a few yrs back 58% were selected overall for SFT. I can't recall, but I want to say tech/rated with a 3.1 hit close to 90% picked up for SFT. Non-tech/non-rated selection was at 18% with the avg cgpa of 3.4.
That being stated, to me the big picture is it is Dec. and they have yet to complete the 1st part of their application. There is nothing in their post that states they have even done their CFA, which requires a specific person to administer the exam. We are coming up on winter school break.
I do not want to discourage flyblu in anyway, I just want them to understand the system that will be a part of their future to commission via AFROTC.
Flyblu,
My true concern for you is from re-reading your posts. You stated:
I hope that my SAT scores hit the minimum for the requirements of scholarship.
Debbie Downer here to say, and sorry to say it:
The fact is the min., is not going to be good enough. The last time I looked up the SAT AFROTC stats, the avg score for type 7 was @1290 out of 1600. Type 2 was hitting 1310, and type 1 was @1330....BEST SITTING, no superscore.
~ If I recall correctly the mins are in the low 500s. Or iows about several hundred points above the min., just for a type 7.
Not everybody is a test taker. I get that, but I also need to say regardless of whatever career field you want in the AF, you will also have to take another test in AFROTC. It is called the AFOQT. In HS terms it is the ACT (4 components). That score, along with your cgpa will be part of your package for SFT.
I know I sound insanely mean, harsh or whatever you are feeling while reading this post. The point is, you need to understand the path you are about to enter. YOU CAN DO IT, but like I stated earlier YOU HAVE TO WANT IT! The ball is always in your court, only people that don't want it say the ball was not in my court.
Good luck. May all of your hopes and dreams come true. Thank you for wanting to defend this amazing nation.
