Graduated from the zoo in 23' with a pilot slot. Receiving a pilot slot at the Academy depends on two factors, your OPA and your PCSM. OPA is 50% and PCSM is 50% of your pilot selection process. OPA are your compiled scores of being a cadet. OPA has three factors (50% GPA, 35% MPA, and 15% PEA) GPA are academics which is self explanatory. MPA is military performance average which heavily reflects your leadership skills in your cadet squadron and leadership quizzes you take. PEA is your fitness tests. OPA will be used to show your class ranking (e.g. 1 out of 1023 or 1000 out of 1023). PCSM are compiled by your (50% AFOQT, 35% TBAS, and 15% Flight hours). With a maximum point as 99. I believe the minimum PCSM is 30. Medical: You need to pass ALL of these. If not you MUST receive a waiver. Most do NOT get waivers. Summary: I was around the top 3rd of my class and had a PCSM around low 90's. I know many people who were on the other spectrum (bottom 10% and 30's PCSM) who received a pilot slot no problem. My experience at USAFA showed me that it is still the BEST way to receive a pilot slot. But you need to hit certain minimums. BE MEDICALLY QUALIFIED Aim to be middle of your class Gain a PCSM that's above minimum If you do that 99% you will get a pilot slot.
