Hi there,
I'm a rising Junior hoping to apply to USMA next year, but I was recently battling an eating disorder throughout my sophomore year. Physically and mentally preparing myself to apply to USMA has been a key factor in my recovery and I am absolutely determined to beat this on the first shot. I haven't found a lot of information on waivers for ED, except for the fact that they're practically impossible to obtain. Has anyone ever heard of someone obtaining a waiver for an eating disorder? If my PSAT scores are any indication of my SAT score this fall, my test scores and grades are highly qualifying and I have leadership positions in sports and extracurriculars. Is there any way I can prove my mental/medical stability in the remaining time I have? I know with my circumstances, including the issue being so recent, I'm pretty much done at this point, but I'm going to continue to pursue a nomination even if there's the slimmest chance of obtaining one. Any information or tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
