You won't know unless you speak to them. However, for Academy applicants and 4YR ROTC scholarship winners, all DQs are automatically reviewed for a waiver (unless it is non-waiverable condition).
A waiver is currently under review for you. Make sure that DODMERB has all the relevant medical paperwork in regards to your condition.
Thank you! We are meeting with the doctor early next week to address the issue. Will keep you posted

That is really sad...we have new info but neither the Academy or DODMERS would forward the new info to the appropriate medical team for a waiver!Does DoDMERB need any information (if you have any) or is the waiver a function of the SA? Though DoDMERB may indeed be the source of the information, they have already DQ'd the candidate and I am pretty certain the 'waiver' is granted by the medical team at the SA.
My point being - make sure any additional relevant information is sent to the appropriate place as I think DoDMERB is no longer involved once they DQ you.
The waiver approval authority reviews the paperwork that has been submitted to DODMERB. If it has not been submitted to DODMERB, then it won't be considered during the waiver review. At least that is how it works in Cadet Command.

I wouldn't make any assumptions just yet. It is still possible to get the waiver approved this week. I don't expect you to get a response either way until 15 APR, as the SAs are pretty busy now filling their incoming Freshman classes.
At the very least you will get a letter from DODMERB if there is a change in status (ie: Waived Physical). It should also show up in the portal. The waiver request is automatic for the SAs when going through DODMERB. You would have to speak to each individually if you wanted to anymore information. Each SA would notify you if they waived the physical and accepted your child.
If the waiver is not granted by 15 APR, I don't expect there to be an extension. However, it is possible to reapply to SAs in follow on years.
@rlrmilitarymom , we are in the same boat, waiting for waiver. It is a waiver-able condition and we have turned in everything they have asked for. Is it possible everything could come together at this point?
That will definitely help, as you are proving that there are no physical limitations.
