Hello everyone, I received an appointment from KP a couple weeks ago contingent upon gaining medical qualification. I had two kidney stones 5 and 6 years ago which dq'd me and USMMA put me in for a waiver to BuMED, but they requested additional information (a nephrologist [kidney doctor]...

I just logged on to my DoDMERB account and saw that my USNA waiver was denied. I was disqualified for renal calculus (history of kidney stones), history of head injury (concussion), and weak or painful back. Can someone...anyone explain this to me because I have yet to get a satisfactory...

I see most people that are granted waivers tend to only have one condition. Is it a really bad thing to have multiple conditions to be waived?

OK, so as of right now I fall under the waiting desperately, camping out at mailbox, going totally insane group of current candidates. I've been told I have a strong application and I believe I am quite competitive for appointment based on these forums and my own research. THE ONLY THING...

I have applied to USMMA because it's another possible avenue to the Naval Officer career I want to pursue. That said, despite my research about the academy and everything done there and after, I only have a general overview of what my choices would be upon graduation. I know it's called the...

Agency: US Merchant Marine Academy Admission Status: Offer Extended Admission Status Change Date: 13-NOV-2009 Current Medical Status: Pending Waiver Submission/Review (as of 03-DEC-09 ) This is my current status, I just saw today that it says offer extended!! The date though says 13 Nov...

So my application for the nrotc scholarship is quite strong or so I've been told, but up until now I believe I have been passed from board to board. In this case no news is good news because rejection notices go out right away, but I can only wonder why I keep getting bumped. I applied under a...

Ok, so I applied for an NROTC scholarship and was interviewed and had my application completed I believe in early October. The Petty Officer who did the interview said I should hear something by December. So it is January 13th, 2010 and I have yet to hear a word from anyone about anything (my...

So my girlfriend's father is a Naval Academy graduate and I was talking to him about his experiences there and he said the single greatest challenge that any mid there faced was not the amount of work (as AP/honors students we are used to it and he said its something everyone had to adjust to...

Has anyone living in PA received news from him yet? Also, I received nom from my congressman, but how do I know what type of nom it is?

Received a call personally from my Congressman informing me of my nomination :biggrin::biggrin: Soooooo much relief in the family, we are all very excited, good luck to everyone still waiting, it's a great feeling when the call comes :thumb:

I have two questions: 1. How many candidates on this forum are going through medical remedials/waivers/etc for dodmerb and how hard of a process has it been for you? 2. As much as I hate the thought of not getting an appointment, I have to have a backup plan. I've been accepted into a...

I recently completed my last interview with one of my state's senators. Now that this part of the application is completed for me I figured I'd start a thread about everyone's experiences during their interviews. Personally mine were great! I enjoyed every minute of all three of them...

I recently completed my application and I talked to an admission rep at the Academy who said I might want to consider taking the SAT a third time to try and up my math score (610). What kind of scores has everyone else gotten? I really don't think I would increase that much if at all because...

Something that has been increasingly bothersome to me is the importance of taking physics and calc. I am NOT a math/science person, I'm decently good at the subjects but I hatee them :biggrin: it's not that I'm taking easy classes, I'm taking AP Environmental and AP Stats, but will my not...

I've been reading a lot about people getting these calls from admissions counselors at the Academy. I have completed all parts of my application except the CFA, I'm in contact with nomination sources, etc...All that said I have not heard anything from anyone at Annapolis for months. I have...

I know the CFA is scored pass/fail, but is it scored pass fail as a whole or can you pass certain events and fail others? Basically I'm saying if you do poorly in one event but outstanding in another, will those two balance out? I was medically dq'd and sent in all my rebuttal documents...

I want to get my CFA in early, but with such a busy fall schedule I havn't had time to train as much as I wanted to up my scores. Can/should I submit my CFA early and train during the winter, do the test again, and resubmit my scores or should I wait on submitting it until after training?

Does anyone inform you if you've been waitlisted or should you just assume that is the case if you havn't heard anything from them?

So I know you need to be "triple qualified" (academically,physically,medically). Here are the problems i've encountered: Academically: I am in top 4% of class of 672, all Honors/AP courses taken all 4 years, SAT: 610 math, 660 CR, involved in numerous clubs w/ leadership positions and play...
