Thanks for the advice guys, I will purchase a an ATSA prep test and work on my mental math/reading comprehension. Hopefully I will be back here next year with a TOL!

Been about 2 weeks since I reached out to my HR POC and haven't heard anything back, another 1.5 weeks since reached out to medical and haven't heard back either. Getting jealous of all those that have heard back after a day or two of reaching out.

About to hit 3 weeks since reaching out to medical. The experience varies from person to person I guess. Just not in our favor.

Found out I was tier II after I came out of my job interview ?? I might graduate before I actually get to go to okc.

Did you reach out to medical for an update, or just get an email randomly?

 

[AMD]

It looks like things are moving today. Couple start dates, a few updates. Fingers crossed for everyone ?

Yeah, I emailed them because people that took the mmpi after me were getting class dates. I took my test March 8th. I’m guessing I shouldn't have said I hated my father and stole things before on the test ?

Welcome! I just booked a room at Anatole through FAArooms.com super easy and they look really nice. Also know of another guy with our date that has booked at Kim’s. Haven’t seen too many of us yet

Accepting May 3rd En Route. Anyone else with the same date?

Yup I’m staying at the Anatole! I booked through Faarooms.com super easy to book and they are the closest to the academy plus a shuttle to class.

So many Tier II's.. at least a lot more than I thought there would be.

I emailed medical on 4/1 and got an email today saying they are still waiting on my medical clearance. Everything has been done since 3/6. Watching all these FOL's have been painful.

I feel your pain. My mmpi was done on the 2/21 and medical evaluation was on 3/7. Still waiting.

I did finally hear back from medical, they asked for more info about my lasik and one other questionnaire. They then proceeded to say pending clearance by the FS I would be on “special consideration” until June after another follow up with my lasik doctor. But that my file was on the FS’s to-do list.

Was signed off and cleared medical yesterday, was offered a FOL for 5/23 today. Looks like they are moving quick once the clearances are signed off.

Good to know, I'm in the same boat and had laser eye surgery in January of this year. Hoping to have the eye doctor fill out the form tomorrow.

Just my opinion, but people who are tier 2 are more likely to say something vs someone who is tier 1.

This week, my CTI professor went with the CTI people to D.C. to talk to a whole heck of a lot of politicians about a bunch of stuff. Here's what they told me:

• New bid will be in June
• If you scored Qualified on the ATSA you most definitely will not get a TOL
• If you scored Well Qualified, you probably won't either FOR THIS BID
• Reference list is still open for Best Qualified, but don't hold your breath.
• The ATSA bands are based on firm numbers. We do not know the numbers as they are not published, but it's something along the idea of 70-80 is Qualified, 81-90 is Well Qualified, and 91+ is Best Qualified. They are not doing the sliding scale thing anymore.

Nick..I don’t know how to tell you this, but I think he’s in a different class.
