DD just received medical waiver was denied. Her hearing loss is too severe for a waiver so her conditional appointment has been withdrawn. Good luck to all!

Very sound advice. Thank you!

My daughter will reach out to AO next week. Meanwhile I will try to be patient. Plan B schools are coming at our kids pretty hard so that helps.

Does anyone here know the latest date for medical waivers to be received by eligible applicants? Signing date for most colleges is May 1st. Getting more than a little anxious. Thank you.

I'm sorry that you were denied. Wishing you much success in your future endeavors.

She received her conditional appointment in December. Then we had medical appointments resulting in the need for a waiver. We were notified that her waiver was automatically requested on March 10. We're hopeful. Thanks.

DD is still waiting for medical waiver. We had heard from a 2025 parent that her daughter received waiver in April. We're all exhausted but trying to remain hopeful. Best of luck!

Congratulations 🎉 👏

I am very happy for your child and your family. It is difficult to be patient but remain hopeful even though test results require a waiver.

The conditional appointment expires on May 15th if student doesn't get medical waiver or appointment. I believe other colleges need commitment/signing by May 1st. Hopeful for waiver but we won't be able to wait until May 15, in case one isn't granted. Any insights on the dates? Thanks.

The ENT did not think an MRI is needed as he does not suspect tumor or expect her hearing to get worse. I hope you don't mind me asking how soon did you get waiver after you received ENT results? (I know that waivers are individually determined; we remain hopeful). Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are hoping for the best, that test results come back amenable to the Academy. She doesn't want to go anywhere else.

Yes, very helful. Thank you for taking time to provide such a detailed response.

Has anyone dealt with this medical issue? Moderate hearing loss in the 500 to 4000Hz frequencies. Current or history of use of hearing aids. My child is being reevaluated by a specialist for hearing 'loss' in 1000-2000 Hz. Never knew about it or noticed it. She's in the competition choir at...
