Hello all,
As we approach the highly anticipated appointment wave, I’m beginning to get even more anxious about my application journey.
Back in December, I was asked to take the body fat test (Form O-220) because I was outside the weight limit for my height. I ended up with 31% when the maximum for females was 26%.
I didn’t hear from USAFA since then until a week ago when they asked me to take another body fat. According to the admissions website, if they deemed one competitive in all other fields, they can ask for a medical waiver and/or re-measurements. I took the test again and this time ended up 5 pounds below the max weight but at 28% body fat (according to the online calculator I used).
I was just wondering, has anyone gone through the same situation as me? I am under the weight limit but not the body fat (even though I’m just 2% over), and what gives me a little hope is that Admissions can still request a medical waiver for me.
If anyone has gone through similar experiences, please share, anything to ease my anxiety will help!
