Is there a waiver on the ST score when submitting a packet for 17C?

I am interested in the cyber field in the army. The ASVAB requirement is 110GT and 112ST. My current score is 119GT and 111ST. Was wondering if I can get my ST score waived so I can submit my packet

I haven’t heard about that for 17C but from my experience of others trying to go officers they usually have to have the correct score or higher. What does your packet actually say about it? Might need to check the school website. If you can’t you will need to take the class to improve your score above 112

I called the proponent last year and they told me “you can request it on the 4187, however, they usually don't give waivers due to most packets don’t require one”. Its a long shot in my mind, but it was NOT a no. Things could’ve changed as well since i called. Give the proponent a call and see what they say. Im currently on leave and don't have access to a computer to get you the number. Good Luck!

You just request it in your packet. You'll either receive an acceptance letter or you won't

Yes, it’s possible to request a waiver for your ASVAB ST score when submitting a packet for the 17C (Cyber Operations Specialist) position. Since your current ST score is 111, which is just one point shy of the required 112, you have a good chance of being considered for a waiver.

The process typically involves your recruiter submitting the waiver request along with your packet. Approval can vary in timing, so it’s best to discuss this directly with your recruiter for specific guidance and to understand the necessary steps. Good luck with your application!
