Unless you plan on applying to WP and would consider attending, don't go. There are people on the waiting list who are dying to go and would love that spot.

Congressman's office just called. It's official! I'm suppose to get it in the mail on Monday! WOOHOOO :shake:

:eek::eek: That's what I thought... I've just heard so many people tell me that not everyone who gets an LOA gets in, so I thought I still had to wait.

Gosh. I hate to post this, but I have to. My stepdad got the idea from my mom that the medical waiver meant that I was accepted because of my LOA. So he told me I was in. My mom clarified -- she only found out that my medical waiver went through. So... good news, just not as good as we thought...

Thank you so much for all your help! I found out I got the waiver today and that I'm in!!!! Unfortunately that medical appointment wasn't necessary, but at least it was ready just in case. :biggrin::biggrin:

I guess this is on-topic but... off-topic for what's currently being discussed... I'm in! :eek: Now I get to join the group waiting for I-Day!

Rant: Ok. I have the worst luck in the world. I finally get the stupid medical report from orthopedics but they have the wrong birthdate. They were supposed to have changed it the day I was there for my appointment. OBVIOUSLY they didn't listen. And they're being fussy about changing the...

I got my medical report today. However, the birthdate is wrong. They wrote March 9th instead of the 8th. The 9th is my sister's birthday. They're giving us a pretty hard time about getting it fixed ASAP. Should I just send the report and explain the mishap in my letter, and say that I'll...

Question #2: I have bad eyesight, but I didn't get anything back from dodmerb about needing any sort of waiver for my eyes. If you have corrected vision, do you need anything to go? I'm wondering if something happened since I didn't hear anything about my eyes.

Kick your puppy? :eek: ... I have my own dog to kick. Mwahaha. (just kidding)

To the people who keep saying, "Hey, I heard you got into USNA!" : :unhappy::hammer: To USNA for being slow with waivers: :rant2::bang: A:KSDFHAGNEJRLGDNSFMBsdfk'gh/adirgyoweiutrpaertusdklmnvk'g I feel much better now.

Would it be a good idea to include letters written by coaches about my participation in athletics and the fact that I have no complaints/problems with my knees?

Thanks! The orthopedic gave me a clearance yesterday. He says he finds zero evidence that the condition remains. The report should be complete by next Monday and then in the mail it goes. Then more waiting! :eek: Should I include my personal letter WITH the report, so that it's all sent...

Just a quick update. I've been in contact with my regional director and the lady who deals with medical questions at USNA. It's going to take a few weeks until my waiver is decided upon. My mom was able to get me an appointment this Monday with an orthopedic to give a full evaluation of my knees...

"Hey Mom, I want to go to USNA!" "Are you sure about that?" "Yep." "Well... you better start keeping your room clean then." *** "Hey Mom, I want to choose Marine Option!" "WHAT?! YOU CAN'T BE A MARINE." :eek::unhappy: -insert long argument- "Well, I support you no matter what...
