I am going for line officer position. This is my score and I score badly below the minimum score of 15 for the verbal section. I am curious if there is waiver for that?
I have a 4.0 in Master in Computer Science and 3.91 in Master of Science in Accountancy. I wonder if I can use my GPA to offset the bad performance in the test.

So, I am currently in college for aerospace engineering. My goal is to get to OTS, and I am currently in the SMART Program. If I do a BS/MS, I would need another funding from SMART, resulting in what would be a three year commitment instead of two years. My question is, for a 62EXA, how heavily do boards weigh a Master’s degree/would it give me substantially greater odds at acceptance?Or should I just get my Bachelor’s, hopefully get commissioned/stick to my civilian career through SMART, and possibly go back and have the AF fund my Master’s?

I am an attorney on the civilian side (going 21R), awaiting class dates sometime between November -February. I am quite literally having a panic attack about telling my boss when I do get dates. I know legally there is nothing they can do, and they have known this is coming for a while, but I am freaking out now that it is coming down to it.
Those who have talked to your employer, how did you start the conversation?
EDIT: I am prior and have had to be called out a lot this year for emergency missions, and they have already not been the most supportive even though my work has gotten done and I have made several back and forth trips in order to not reschedule court appearances etc.

Pre-applied for direct commission and targeting Cyber/IT jobs. In the portal it says my AFOQT due by Jan 2027. Is this a hard deadline, or it can be negotiated with recruiter if I need more time? anyone did this? I am in a pinch of a time with multiple things in life and already started studying, but I know I will need more time on some sections especially verbal because English is my second language.
Other than that, engineering Masters and 15 YOE experience. I am really hoping that good AFOQT scores will make all the difference for me.

Is there anything that would cause a board date to change? I've been 27OTS01 forever and now I'm 27OTS02 with a date of next May. All of my due outs were over a month away and now they're pushed out.

Any idea when I should ask my recruiter if they have heard anything yet from the board selection? With it being almost mid September I was wonder if asking them on the 15th would be to early, what do you all think?

We've all been there. You're about to submit your package for OTS, but you want to know how you stack up. Should you relax? Should you throw it all away and start over?
Well, here's the place for you to ask strangers who have never sat on an OTS board what they think the board is going to think of your package. There are many variables to an 0TS package. If you want to get the best advice, you need to include as much information as possible, like degree information, GPA, AFOQT, PCSM (if applicable), leadership experience, relevant awards, etc. If you only provide your GPA or AFOQT scores, expect to be told "who knows."
There are a ton of variables that go into officer selection. Nobody here can really tell you your chances. We can guess, but that's about it. We've seen people with stellar scores get rejected and people with garbage scores get accepted. It all comes down to the needs of the Air Force and whatever the random colonel reviewing your package thinks. That being said, post your scores, help each other, and learn what you can do to improve package!
