They'll know you're coming from EDV from the application. I do not believe they actually know the score. Under SSP the interviews were done on specific SSP days, DGI interviews are going to be with everyone else on normal interview days.

Let me rephrase. For a given person I don't think that the fact that you are DGI or OTS will affect the result of the interview. It's just that there are going to be people who interview on the DGI who would normally not be given one. And many of those will end up getting hired, but it also means there could be a higher percentage that don't than those who are more thoroughly vetted to get the interview in the first place.

Not having the "score" to normally get an interview doesn't mean they aren't going to hire you. But you might have a harder time with some scenarios or the tests because your background may not be as extensive. Basically, the idea is you are held to the same standards in the interview as anyone else, if your background is less extensive it doesn't give you a pass.

There were SSP interviewees who didn't have a college degree, they weren't even eligible to apply for OTS but at least some of them got hired. I don't know what the pass rate is, but even if that was a hill to climb (I'm sure it was), that was the only way to get to the proverbial top if that was where they wanted to be with their qualifications.

If Delta is where you want to go, you have a better chance of being there if you interview than if you never get the chance. There are lots of people out there who could pass the interview who can't even get one.
