I have a medical issue and I have been identified as "highly competitive." My portal basically says,'' wait for your RC to put you into the waiver process." My question is since a waiver can be granted within a few weeks to even half a year, from what I read; can I get an Offer of Appointment before my waiver is granted? Or would the academy wait til I was granted the waiver, if so does that put me on the Backburner" so to say, thus decreasing my odds of acceptance?
