My DD's asthma waivers were denied last year by USNA, USMMA, and AROTC. Time wasn't on her side last year when she was going through the academy acceptance process but she has now submitted an appeal to AROTC, which included a pulmonary function test (PFT) and recommendation letters from the...

Good luck! Sending prayers!

Still pending, but she did receive an email confirming her file is under review. Praying the third time is a charm! :)

She just had the PFT done on Friday and her documentation was sent off yesterday.

My DD's asthma waivers were denied by USNA (conditional USNA prep school offer) and USMMA (recruited athlete) last year. She failed the MCT at 20.1%. MCT was done by a DoDMERB-approved provider who also provided a letter stating that she saw no reason why DD couldn't serve. DD later received an...

Thankfully, the provider called DD yesterday; she's scheduled to be seen this afternoon! Fingers crossed her medical waivers are granted after today's visit!

My DD received a provider yesterday from the CIV team, but the provider's office isn't answering (she left voicemails). So frustrating! I told her to give them 24 hours. If she doesn't get anywhere with them by COB today, we'll go through our insurance. We actually used CIV referral for a...

We used the pulmonologist referred by the CIV team. My DD has a history of asthma after 13 but was also a three-sport athlete, captain of all three teams, etc. She was a recruited athlete for USMMA and the coaches made comments several times leading us to believe that asthma wouldn't necessarily...

Congratulations!

I hope candidates are checking their portals. My DD had a NAPS LOA and has yet to receive an email or TWE reflecting her medical disqualification. I encouraged her to check last Monday - it's the only reason she knows it's over! :(

You're right!

Truly depressing! You have to be excited for them but it's a hard pill to swallow when you know that candidates are sitting on an actual waitlist and/or have LOAs! I must say that it's such a relief to finally know that DD's medical waiver was denied. She has moved on beautifully in just a few...

Congratulations! So excited for you!

I would add that some schools may have unused scholarships left! My DD was contacted by a ROO earlier this month asking if she was still interested in ROTC because she never completed her application. Long story, she's hoping to secure a scholarship. I would recommend you contact the ROO for any...
