Hi all,
I'm new to the site and to ATC in general and am trying to figure out what is going on. Thus far, I have applied to PUBNAT3, taken the AT-SAT, and received my score a few days ago: 94.6. I pretty much have no idea what comes next though. I have been browsing around the forums here and it seems like now I wait to see if i'm on the referral list? How do they choose who gets referred? In their signatures people have all sorts of acronyms that I can't seem to find the meaning of some of them. The next step after getting your AT-SAT scores seems to be getting a call and submitting your geographical preference... Is that in any way related to the geographical preference already filled out in the FAA online application (the one that qualified me to take the AT-SAT)? i reviewed my preferences in the application and saw that i kinda screwed up and only put a few, specific cities around where I live and didn't put anything bigger like a whole state or around the nation. I'm worried that now i'll only be considered at a few locations instead of anywhere, when i'd really be willing to move anywhere in the US right now. Anyways, I'm just hoping someone who's a little farther in the process will be able to explain some things to me... do you have to be placed on a referral list to get called for your geo preferece? does everyone on the referal list get called for that? does everyone on the referal list go to a PEPC, or only the ones who are being interviewed already for a position/entering the training school in OK? some of the acronyms that i see tossed around a lot but don't know what they mean are OTS, FOL, TOL, and probably a few others that I'm forgetting. Anyways, that's more than enough questions for now, any help is very much appreciated.
