I am currently applying to the USNA for the class of 2018. I submitted my applicationi early September and had my BGO interview done by the end of September.
I have heard from DODMERB stating that I am medically disqualified due to my 'presumed' allergy to sunflower seeds. Since the letter from DODMERB came, I have had numerous tests done that have all come up with results saying that I am not allergic.
Basically, all the doctors presumed I was allergic when I had a reaction while eating the seeds, but the tests have come back negative so they now believe it was a one time thing (i guess that can happen).
I am told my the USNA that I will be considered for a waiver once I am awarded an appointment, so I have been waiting and praying for that.
With what I have been reading though, I have to be 3Q'd to recieve and appointment, and how does that happen if I am not medically qualified at this point?
Any help would be appriciated. Thanks
