    After 2 years of applying I sent in my app online and revieved the email back asking me to complete the online assessment!
    I completed the test yesterday morning and that afternoon I received an email

    The email says thank you for your interest in bnsf railways, we have recieved your application we will contact you via email if you are selected to continue in the process, and it says it will take between 2 and 8 weeks

    Does anyone know if this email means I passed or failed the online assessment?

    Educated guess here, it sounds as though they're waiting for an application window to close and see the final rankings before extending offers.

    It does not sound like any doors have been closed to you.

    Best of luck in your search, and let us know what happens!

    I agree with other posters, the carrier is waiting for the reply window to close and then evaluate the assessments that have made the first scrutiny as it appears yours has. If they weren't interested you would probably have received a rejection letter telling you that the carrier doesn't have any positions meeting your qualifications.

    Exactly right. I continued to receive straight-up rejection letters even after I was hired, so if they aren't interested, they will definitely let you know!

    Good, good! I'm a few weeks from the end of this training program and I've been very busy! Lots of things to learn in such a short period. I'm excited about getting out there on my own. Thanks for asking!
