Hi all.
I'm applying for an appointment to the class of 2021, and my medical exams are in a week. I've filled out DODMETS and DODMERB forms and the one thing that seems to stand out is my extremely mild asthma (sadly it's still asthma in their books). I understand that in order for USNA to issue a waiver, you need to be granted and appointment and a nomination. Let's assume I am fortunate enough to receive both of those, is there a chance that I could obtain a waiver, or is asthma automatically disqualifying? If it helps, I competitively run cross country and track with no breathing issues. I appreciate your help! Thank you.
