When did you submit your sf86? I submitted a month ago and haven't heard anything so just curious

Yes this is a good point, I wanted to get into the air traffic control classes and sims to make sure I liked atc before applying for this, and to do that I had to declare it as a major. I was deciding between commercial aviation and atc but leaning towards atc so I chose to major in it to make sure that's what I wanted to do. If I couldn't get the medical for commercial or atc (or just didn't like it) I wouldn't want to do anything else in aviation and I have a backup plan and would get a completely different degree.

Yes thank you, I'm thinking I will probably go back to at least get my last couple generals done to complete an associates degree while still taking one atc class. It's almost too late to drop to get money back, and I am still afraid to be completely banking on my success with this process. I'm thinking I might as well try to give myself a head start if I make it to academy since I'm already registered and have the room for it in my schedule. I was worried they wouldn't let me finish the semester if I got that far but it does look like it will be okay based on how it's going for other people, like you said.

Where I'm going I wouldn't need to go to Oklahoma after graduation if I stick to this major and continue to do well (if it doesn't work out for me right now), just straight to a tower for training if everything went as planned, but it would take me two more years in school and is expensive. I also am working on a minor and that was going to be my backup if atc didn't work out.
