My DD’s high school does the same thing (over 100) for a weighted GPA, it’s for class rank. Then unweighted on a 4.0 scale. It’s kind of confusing and I don’t understand why they do it this way.

My DD’s admission counselor emailed her last week and said even though my DD passed she recommended that she retake her CFA. My daughter said she would and AC replied that she would hold my daughter’s application until she repeated it. I don’t know when she will find the time either but she...

We have the extra anxiety of waiting on DoDMERB, DD is under waiver review and not sure how that’s going to end up. :confused: She has finished submitting to her back up schools and trying to get those MOC applications done. Good Luck to everyone! :)

Hi ChoirDude, have you heard anything? Did you end up sending the additional documentation? My DD was DQd on Sept 10th for history of asthma, we weren't surprised and expected it. Dodmerb says it is Under Waiver Review and I am wondering if we should go ahead and send in her prescription history...

My DD encountered the same problem, she went for her exam on Aug 13th and 14th and it was "incomplete" until today. She received an email from Concorde last week letting her know they hadn't received the medical portion so she emailed them back and also called the doctors office. Doctor had...

My DD had her exam last week and she did not have a urine test which I thought was kind of odd. I assumed it would be part of the exam.

CONGRATS!! How exciting!

I'm sorry to hear that, my DD has her physical scheduled next week and we are expecting the same outcome. She was diagnosed at age 12 and used an inhaler for a couple of years. Did they ask for more information? More testing?

My DD’s admissions counselor told her she could update her SAT scores after submitting her application but to email her and let her know to expect them. Good Luck!

My daughter went as a junior in the spring and had not started the process.

You might want to try it a couple of different ways using an online character count tool, my DD struggled at first getting the characters down to 2000, the bullet point list was not working for her and it counts spaces too. Good Luck!

My DD’s admission’s counselor told her to wait until end of July, she was at 50% completed on July 2nd. If she hasn’t heard from Dodmerb by then she is supposed to email her and let her know.

My DD met with her admissions counselor yesterday and she said the same thing, 50% and even encouraged her to take her time with her candidate activities record and essay because Dodmerb did not need those to trigger. She checked her application and said she was at 50% last week when her...

One of the reasons I find this forum so valuable is because of the advice I receive from so many, whether they have been doing it for 20 years or 20 days, it’s up to me to either take that info or leave it but I would never judge anyone for trying to be helpful.

I appreciate your advice!!!

That's what I thought but she has had more than half completed for several weeks now. We know Dodmerb is going to be an issue and that is the reason she started early. Will the admissions counselor be able to advise us on the Dodmerb process? Her regional counselor is meeting with her today to...

Good point! We are from Tx and toured A&M this week and they stressed to apply NOW especially for engineering majors because it fills up quickly. UT has an early deadline too if you want a chance at their engineering program.

Does the candidate activities record need to be verified by the counselor before it triggers Dodmerb? My DD has completed everything but the essay and will meet with her BGO next week, still waiting on counselor to verify her record and Eng teacher eval.

My DD chose AP physics C because it was recommended for students who plan to go into engineering. She didn’t even consider AP Chem. She’s also taking AP Govt, AP Eng and AP Calculus AB. I can’t imagine her also taking AP Chem! And she definitely enjoys physics more than chemistry.

Trust me, I am very concerned that we might end up stirring up some dust! I figured it wouldn’t hurt to at least meet with the physician and ask questions and hopefully walk away with a letter to take to her medical exam. Not sure Dodmerb will accept it but we are willing to try. My DD’s...
