Wow! That’s more than 50% admission rate!

Yes, a good spirometry test has a very high chances of reversing the medical waiver denial.

I have created a very basic formula that I continue to tweak- a. You are medically fit b. You are a state level athlete c. You have average or better test score- SAT/ACT 1400/30 d. There are no disciplinary actions against you If you check a box then assign a value of 1 to the variable else...

we are appealing one more time let’s see what happens, not very optimistic however. I think DS is shattered from inside but he is not expressing.... I noticed he has slowly started to remove Air Force posters from his room, some are from elementary school... it sucks to be helpless.....

Hmmm...single point of failure...this sounds like may easily take few days if not week

Is Falcon Foundation different than Prep school? If so, what are the main differentiating factors?

Make sure you also contact Corp of Cadets. DS has been accepted in Eng and won a AFROTC type 7. We are out-of-state. Unfortunately his medical waiver has been denied and he has only $1500 in scholarship. DS called scholarship office to see if they would offer in-state rate while he appeals his...

DS was 13 yr and 3 months old. It was one time rash on his face, never happens again. DS still believes that it was some kind of bug bite but his pediatrician wrote eczema on the report.

Thanks for the guidance. DS was disappointed but took it well. Looks like in-state school and probably join Army ROTC. He wants to major in Civil Eng.

DS is in same boat... he was DQed in Sep. He spoke to admission last week and they said that his application is being reviewed... I guess he will find out this week.

We are in similar situation, DS sent additional records and evaluations to DoDMERB about three weeks ago. AFROTC status updated from “Waiver Denied” to “Pending waiver submission/review”. We were hoping DoDMERB would remove the DQ as eval from physician is essentially a rebuttal but that did not...

Last year our district sent 21 candidates to academy- 8 MA, 6 NA, 6 AFA and 1 MMA. There were only 34 nominated!

It’s so nice of you, thank you! I’ll get in touch with you if DS ends up at Purdue

DS has started a second job to pay for his remains flight lessons come spring. He has also developed an interest in financial markets and opened a mutual fund and a 401k account to invest money for future :) He has been accepted to all 8 colleges he has applied and he is now waiting to hear...
