Hello,
Recently I had an acceptance letter to USNA, but a day later it was rescinded due to a medical disqualification for my peanut allergy, which I definitely do have. I completed a skin test and an IgE test to which it was deemed unsafe for me to complete the oral ingestion challenge. I realized that the test is not to determine waiver eligibility based on the severity of the allergy but to have no allergic reaction at all. I am feeling pretty bummed out and I’m not sure if anyone knows what I can do for USNA to appeal or fight this. Additionally I got accepted to the NROTC scholarship and am wondering if the same thing is just going to happen for the scholarship and I get disqualified.
