DS just got his denial email tonight. He is heart broken, but the good lord must have a different plan for him. Best of luck to everyone still waiting.

Update. DS got denied, go the email about 30 mins ago. Onto plan B. University of Colorado here we come. Best wishes to everyone else still waiting.

DS contacted his case manager today to get an update, has been over 30 days from submitting his additional medical information. The case manager said his "case was withdrawn". Does anyone know what this means?? His waiver was for mild asthma. Sounds like the applicant or admissions can only...

My DS has been recruited to play a sport at the USAFA, he was told by the coach that he had to get into the school on his own, if he does, then he has a spot on the team. I was a D1 athlete and had no business getting into the school that I attended, but the coach pulled strings to get me in...

still pending for my DS. not sure I'll be able to uncross my fingers considering they have been crossed for so long.

check this out, 76% is pretty high.

I don't think it will interfere. My guess it will be but into a different pile. Do you know why you got rejected?? If you do, focus on that/those areas the most but also try to improve across the board. What ever you do, don't listen to people that question your "why". If your dream is to...

DODMERB handles all medical information. I would reach out to your case manager and make sure they have everything they asked for. We submitted all the information they requested for a waiver, about 3 weeks later they asked for it again. We reached out to our case manager and she found the...

DS is still waiting to hear from USAFA. The waiting is so hard. Best of luck to everyone.

DS has been under waiver for months. Mild asthma induced by allergies. We live in the Ohio valley and allergies are terrible here. The waiting is terrible. We have moved on with Plan B just in case.

This hurry up and wait is hard to deal with. But the wait, hopefully, will be worth it. Just have a plan B in place.

My son did the same thing. Move forward with Plan B until we get word from USAFA. Better to be safe than sorry.

Have you received a waiver request from USAFA? If you have, then get ready to get a bunch of additional medical information request from DoDMERB, it will be in your portal. If you haven't received a waiver request from USAFA, not sure you have much you can do, you can email your case worker...

appreciate this info. DS took pre-calc in 8th grade and is currently taking a math class at a local university because his high school didn't have any more classes he could take. He didn't do real well as he expected on the math section of his ACT for the same reasons you mentioned. Maybe he...

can you explain what the test was like?? Timed? what type of questions? and so on. Thanks in advance.
