Hi all,
I'm helping my cousin apply for USNA and NROTC. He has never been officially diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, but he has been prescribed a medication used to treat ADD/ADHD for ticks since the beginning of high school. He is now being taken off the medication with no return of the ticks. Is the 24 months of medication use a disqualifier if it was not actually prescribed for ADHD?
The situation is complicated further because my cousin has a learning disability for which he has a 504 plan with some very basic classroom accommodations. Are any accommodations at all grounds for DQ? He will be taken off the 504 for his senior year, since he doesn't really need it, and will be taking the SATs without extra time.
Thanks for any help!
