I was just medically disqualified by DODMERB for a childhood ADHD diagnosis. I got nominations to USNA and USAFA. I haven't heard if they are going to request a waiver. I hope so. I am crushed, but I know there is hope. I haven't taken any medication in well over a year, I don't have a 504 anymore or use accommodations, and I have good grades and test scores. I hope they are willing to give me a waiver and that I am accepted. My psychiatrist from the past who diagnosed me and gave me prescriptions for ADHD has written a letter that states I no longer take medication and am doing well academically, and I have that to submit if they ask. Otherwise, I am just waiting with breath held and fingers crossed. Do you know anyone who was disqualified because of ADHD and got a waiver and was later accepted? That would give me more hope. Whatever happens, I am determined to find a way to serve. I hope it is at an academy.
