I have no idea and I certainly don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm for applying and pursuing what I think is one of the prime jobs out there!
I only know a few guys who have applied and they were all military and they told me their scores were like 102. According to them - in order to score near or over the 100 mark you would need to have either prior military or LE time. I mean where else would you get some of the experience that they give points for like low altitude flying, sensor useage, stressful environment flying, etc... About the only thing he could not mark was the rappeling question or something like that (that is having flown an aircraft while someone rappeled out if it ).
Btw - I've not applied so I've not be a part of the process first hand and all this information is third/fourth hand. This thread has a lot of experience and knowledge in it though so I'm sure they will chime in if my information is off or outdated.

will CBP ever issue a "youre not hired" email?!? I interviewed back in July, and thought I did fairly alright, I havent heard anything yet. All my ref's were called and I got a great vibe from everyone interviewing me that day (the day after while commuting home, the IP that gave me my flight checkride said to expect a call soon, I ran into him at the airport...)
Anyways, I know only 1 of 5 people from my interview group were called so far...
I am all civilian and FW only, and interviewed for the jax/tampa/homestead spots.
