    DoDMERB Past Surgery Question

    To add to my above post....my DS also was DQed after obtaining Qualified status (which he obtained based on my description from my previous post on this thread) for an ACL tear. So I can confirm that the remedial for that knee surgery specifically required, not only a clearance of all...

    DoDMERB Past Surgery Question

    Also, make sure you keep all copies of everything. My DS brought all of relevant reports mentioned in these threads to his exam (for stuff we knew would trigger a remedial) and handed them over to the doctor. Despite this DoDMERB still gave him a remedial and we had to resubmit everything we...

    Recruited as a lacrosse player?

    To chime in here....My DS WAS a recruited athlete at the CGA. To the original poster....there really is no short answer to your question. First, seeing the "recruited athlete" process up close, I found there is a lot of confusion as to what a "recruited athlete" actually is. A true recruited...

    Senior Year Courses

    To piggy-back on "corescue59"'s point, as a STEM school Calculus is also a must. I am a bit familiar with the IB program and it is my understanding that Calculus isn't necessarily "a must" (please correct me if I am wrong). So....just thought I would throw that out there in terms of your...

    Fingerprints and that process

    Hello all. My DS will be reporting in a month for the class of 2023 (very exciting and humbling of course). I have a quick question about one of the many requirements leading up to July 1st. One of the requirements is obtaining and sending in fingerprints as part of the security process. We...

    Checking account for cadets

    Thanks so much for that info! It's good to know we can just use our existing family accounts for now. It looks like I spoke a bit too soon about my DS's USAA status. This morning he just received a follow up email saying he has been approved to open accounts because they did, in fact...

    Checking account for cadets

    Well...so far trying to get "verified" as a first year cadet at USAA is not quite as simple as it would seem. My DS was on the phone 4 separate times today trying to successfully give them their necessary documents just to verify he will be entering the military. Apparently this needs to be...

    Checking account for cadets

    So any info on how to contact the "Navy Fed of USAA"? My DS currently has no independent checking account so I would love to just set up his independent account with whatever all new cadets tend to use. He has to complete the mandatory "Cadet Pay Forms" and he can't until he sets up a checking...

    recruited Athletes waiting on admissions decision?

    Just to add to this thread and confirm some earlier comments....if you are truly a recruited you would know it. My son is and we absolutely have known it every step of the way. And yes, you can be a recruited athlete and not make it through admissions...just like any other school. And just...

    Thanks for the well wishes! We have been down a long road. Suffered a major injury Spring of last year and lost his appointment because of course he was DQed. But....he is now good-to-go for the class of 2023. Good luck to all!

    How much will my sophomore year be overlooked? Also leadership opportunities

    Also "Mariah02", keep in mind that the ONLY grades that even appear on a transcript you would send to any SA or university would be the final end-of-year grades. Therefore, you have an entire semester to bring up those grades for sophomore year. For example, no one will know that you received...
