DS is reapplicant and got noms from Portman and MOC for USNA and USMMA this year and from Brown and MOC last year. Like you, we did not get a notice from Brown this year but got a letter from Portman. We've talked to academy coordinators for senators Portman and Brown and they coordinate with...
Thanks. If he is denied a waiver, does he have options with admissions personnel or some other source at an academy that can push for a waiver for him? Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks. This seems different from posts I've read about other SAs (USNA, USMA, etc.) where if the SA makes an offer of appointment and the candidate is not medically qualified, it's at that time that they request a waiver. If I understand your post correctly, once they receive the DQ from...
Great question. DS applied last year and rec'd HOLD status. We contacted AO and asked if she was going to submit for a waiver since he had not been a TD at the time and the deadline for a medical decision was fast approaching. His application was weaker than most (per the AO and by his own...
This question is about the timing of a waiver request. DS is on Hold and medically DQ'd. Hold status letter says he needs to be medically qualified by 3/31. Does this mean he'll need a waiver in place or at have started the waiver review process for him before 3/31 or he will get the TWE...
DS got one. Letter explains what DQ means, DoDMERB's role and next steps in the process. Just sit tight and wait for instructions. How you respond to further instructions is important. There are plenty of threads about this and people with experience on this site.
Dodmerb Website showed "remedial requested". Got letter in mail with instructions to print off a 3 question form to fill out and fax/email back to them to let them know about the present health condition and changes since last exam.
DS is a reapplicant as well. Hit 50% mark in Dec. and it took a couple weeks to get a letter in the mail advising him to fill out a Present Health Questionnaire and fax/email/mail back. Simple 3 question form asking about changes since last exam.
DoDMERB home page says they are 10-15 days...
DS received noms from Senator Portman and Congressman Joyce (OH-14) for USNA and USMMA. Brown said in a letter rec'd yesterday that since DS got nom from Senator Portman, he would not be getting one from Senator Brown so they could give the greatest chance to the largest number of OH applicants...
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
MY DS lives by this Proverb...he didn't get an offer of appointment last year and he was down but not out. 1/2 way through...
Searched for old posts on this...unsuccessful.
DS is re-applicant. Last year was DQ'd medically. Wondering what the DoDMERB for re-applicants looks like. DS has heard it's anywhere from a simple form verifying that nothing as changed to having to get a full review again b/c of the DQ status...
DS is a self-prep at MMI, 2nd time applicant. Best thing for him - Finished with 3.8 GPA in plebe year courses, Top 10% CFA score and a 20% improvement in SAT/ACT scores and has his nomination. He focused on "why" he wanted to attend the Naval Academy, surrounded himself with like-minded...
Hi Everyone,
My DS said a number of his peers that are either sponsored preps (athletes) or self-preps in his SAP program are taking C4 Pre-Workout supplement before workouts, etc. There's a lot of information out there - much of it looks negative (banned, health impact, etc.). Wondering if...
