No there isn't unless they changed it last week. They go by rank once you are in for selection. As an existing soldier in the US Army with the Enlisted rank of E-4 (Corporal/Specialist) or higher, and for Officers the rank of O-2 (1st Lieutenant) promotable to O-3 (Captain), or existing O-3s.

Your best bet is to talk with a SF recruiter( for active duty people only).
Here's a list of them.
http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/sfas/poc.html

And from a post with a SF Group on it:
http://www.campbell.army.mil/sf/Default.htm

Here is some of the textbook answer straight from the SFAS site:

Enlisted Requirements

-Pay Grade of E-4 to E-7. Successful completion of SFAS is a prerequisite to the SFQC

-High School Graduate or have a General Equivalency Diploma (GED)
General Technical (GT) score of 100 or higher

-Stabilization of Current Drill Sergeants and Detailed Recruiters will not be broken

-Specialists, Corporals, and Sergeants who successfully complete SFAS will normally have their Retention Control Point waived to attend the SFQC

-Upon successful completion of SFQC, they will be allowed continued service

-Staff Sergeants approaching their RCP will not be allowed to apply

-Each Sergeant First Class (SFC) must have no more than 12 years time in service and nine months time in grade when applying for SFAS and must be Either Airborne or Ranger Qualified

-SFCs must be able to PCS to the SFQC within six months of selection from SFAS

-Soldiers on assignment will not be allowed to attend SFAS without their branch’s prior approval

-Soldiers on orders to a short tour area will be allowed to attend SFAS if a deferment is not required. These individuals will be scheduled for the next available SFQC after their DEROS

-Volunteers for SFAS prior to receiving Assignment Notification will be deferred to allow SFAS attendance

-For SFAS graduates, assignment to the SFQC will take precedence over any assignment conflict

-OCONUS-based soldiers may attend SFAS in a TDY and return status anytime during their tour

-Upon successful completion of SFAS, soldiers will be scheduled for the next available SFQC provided they have completed at least two-thirds of their overseas assignment obligation and have received PERSCOM approval for curtailment of the remainder of their overseas tour obligation

-Soldiers serving on a short tour will not have their assignment curtailed

-CONUS-based soldiers may attend SFAS in a TDY and return status anytime during their tour. Upon successful completion of SFAS, soldiers will be scheduled to attend the SFQC ensuring that they will have completed at least one-year time on station prior to PCS

-Minimum of 24 Months remaining Time in Service (TIS) upon completion of the SFQC

Officer Requirements

-Secret Security Clearance prior to final packet approval and meet eligibility criteria for Top Secret clearance

-Completed the Officer Basic Course and have been successful in your branch assignments prior to application for Special Forces

-Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB) Score of 85 or higher or a Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) of a minimum of 1/1 reading and listening score

-Minimum of 36 Months remaining Time In Service upon completion of Special Forces Detachment Officer Qualification Course (SFDOQC)

Warrant Officer Requirements

-Rank of Staff Sergeant (SSG/E-6) or above.

-A Special Forces MOS (18B, 18C, 18D, 18E, 18F, or 18Z).

-A minimum of three years rated time on an SFODA.

-A Score of 85 or better on the Defense Language Aptitude Battery (or a current 2/2 language rating).

-Completion of the Special Forces Operations and Intelligence Course prior to October 3, 1994 or SF Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course (ANCOC).

-Letters of recommendation from Commanders at the Detachment, Company, Battalion and Group levels (also recommended is a strong letter of recommendation from another Special Forces Warrant Officer with personal knowledge of the applicants abilities).

"Must Not" Requirements

-Barred to Reenlistment

-Under suspension of favorable personnel action

-Convicted by court-martial or have disciplinary action noted in their official military personnel fiche under the provisions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 15). This provision can only be waived by the Commanding General, United States Army Special Warfare Center and School on a case by case basis

-Terminated from Special Forces, Ranger, or Airborne Duty, unless termination was due to extreme family problems

-30 days or more lost time under USC 972 within current or preceding enlistment
