    LOA

    :wiggle: Thanks for the notes of "Congrats". As for the update, my son checked the DODMERB website last evening, and I heard him say, "YES!!!", which translated to, "Medical Waiver Granted". Thanks again for your support and for sharing your wisdom.

    Norwich ROTC Scholarship

    I am now able to answer my own question, so I thought that I would share in case that anyone else wondered the same thing. My son had his interview last evening with Norwich. He was told that they have 3 ROTC scholarships. Later, sometimes more become available. Apparently, this past year...

    LOA

    :usa: Well, this forum has been so helpful through this process that I wanted to share that my son received an LOA from USMA. He still hasn't received his medical waiver, so that is why it was an LOA. He has already received a waiver for Army ROTC scholarship, so we are hoping that USMA will...

    Date Change for R-Day

    I had just received this information last evening. Since the information is new, I went ahead and called to get a hotel reservation. I had heard that sometimes it is difficult to get one. Even though our son has only received an LOA and not an actual appointment (still waiting on a medical...

    Is this the good news we're waiting for?

    This information was posted when my son's medical waiver was approved for his Army ROTC Scholarship. He has also applied to USMA, so I believe that is why it said "multi-service". He received that information in November, but we are still waiting to hear about the waiver for USMA. You will...

    Got accepted to Norwich!

    Congrads Chip on a great accomplishment! Thanks to you and Lesya for your valuable information! We live overseas, so this whole process has been a little more difficult for my son. He is applying to Norwich, but has never had the opportunity to visit. This forum has been a great benefit.

    Got accepted to Norwich!

    Chip, I was wondering if you could tell me how long it took to hear from Norwich about acceptance after your packet was complete. My son is applying also to Norwich, but just needs to submit his essay to have a complete file.

    How often an when do they review NROTC apps?

    I have been wondering the same thing with the Army ROTC. When I check his status, it still says, "You have been selected for an interview...". He had his interview in September, and he received an e-mail that packet was complete on November 2, 2006. Thanks in advance for any information.

    Already have a nomination, go for a second?

    Nominations My son received a letter from Admissions him that he had received a Presidential Nomination. The letter went on to say, "I also urge you to seek nominations from your local congressman and your state senators." Then, my son received an e-mail from one of our senators to set up his...

    CFA

    The CFA is the last piece of my son's packet that needs to be received at West Point. He took his test, but he is wondering if he should retake it before submitting it because he had a low score on the basketball throw or is it better to go ahead and send it now so that his file is actually...

    Stapedectomy

    Stapedectomy - some good news Just wanted to send a "Thank You" to RetNavyHM. I was just on the DODMERB website and found for the ROTC Scholarship, my son's waiver has been approved for the inner/middle ear surgery. As for USMA, the waiver is still pending. When I sent in all audiology and...

    Stapedectomy

    Well, I just checked the website, and it has been updated with the information below. Now that he has been disqualified, do we continue with the process of gathering/submitting medical records and personal statement? When I read the "Waiver instructions", it sounded as if we must wait to hear...

    Stapedectomy

    DODMERB has received my son's exam forms. We thought that it would immediately show "disqualified" for the ear surgery, and then we would submit the records of the surgery to apply for a waiver. As for the refraction, I believe they wrote on his form "correctable to 20/20" instead of the...

    Stapedectomy

    Thank you for your suggestions. Since I read your post, we have already started getting copies of the records from the surgery. This forum has been very helpful throughout this process.
