Our DD is 99% sure of accepting her USCGA appointment (conditional appt for now) but has a single eye disqualification that has a pending waiver for 2 months now. She has also received a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship to a top 20 school that she was accepted at (and would be happy at but her definite first choice is USCGA) and is now getting emails from the PMS and ROO congratulating her and about the steps to finalize her ROTC acceptance.
She is DODMERB qualified for Army ROTC, as the USCGA has a stricter eye requirement.
How do these kids handle situations like this? She is wondering whether to tell the school Army ROTC that her first choice is the USCGA but she will definitely take the acceptance if she doesn’t get her USCGA waiver.
Also I know many have a backup plan in case of an injury before Swab summer. If
She gets her CG waiver, she plans to decline the ROTC scholarship but make the school deposit to keep her spot in case of injury before summer training and then lose the deposit. If injured, she would attend the college as a regular student. But not sure if it’s right to accept a college spot through summer training.
Are others accepting a regular college admission also just in case of possible injury? She has no med problems but I know every year there are a couple people who get hurt right before plebe or swab starts.
