I got the email telling me I have been chosen for further consideration(at 3:31 eastern time on 10/11). The only problem is it is ZME -- in TN. In my geographic preferences I only put FL (for pubnat2, for pubnat1 I put FL and GA) and listed my choices in order in the comments box (1st choice was ZMA -- miami center). I also chose the terminal or enroute option. I don't know where the hell they got TN from. But my question is, what happens if I turn this one down? How far back will that put me? I have applied to pubnat1,2,4,5,6 (only missed pubnat3). Also I scored an 87.3 on the AT-SAT.
Memphis needs controllers and your preferences were just that... preferences. If you don't take it, you are looking at a LONG wait.
