Same boat! DQ'd for eczema as a USNA candidate. Unexpectedly offered 3-year AROTC scholarship after finishing 1st year of college... Can anyone here share what they have done as far as documentation when appealing for a waiver??? Many thanks!!!

DD received the highly dreaded TWE via email yesterday afternoon. Her DoDMERB portal has showed "Pending Waiver Submission/Review" for several months due to the appearance of eczema after her 12th birthday. She submitted three physicians letters testifying to how ridiculously minor (dime size...

Another one here waiting on waiver review… If a waiver request happens to be denied, does that mean DD it totally out of the game for any chance at reapplying??? Many thanks!

Does an applicant ever know if they are deemed "3Q" when waiting on a waiver decision???

Perhaps it's something wrong with my browser. When I click "Service Academies Application Form" a whitehouse.gov page comes up with "Service Academies Application Form" at the top, but the rest of the page is blank.

Am I missing it??? A couple of months ago I found it, but now it seems to have vanished. I've scoured these same links many times….. Shako, were you successful?

This is humbling to post, but we have been denied official “candidate” status from two SA’s stating scholastic deficiencies in class ranking, GPA, and test scores. I totally understand and feared the kickback from the test scores. Since interest in the SA is relatively new, we didn’t plan...

Thank you Stealth_81. Nothing came up when I tried searching before posting… Will definitely follow your link! Many thanks!

Could someone give this non-military family a glimpse of what life might look like after graduating the academies??? I'm certain there is a million different variables depending on areas of commission, needs of the military, current political state, etc., but, in general, are officers on duty...

Oh dear. We didn't send them yet. Did I overlook that request on the app? I was thinking we would send them after being told we qualified to be an official candidate….

Do they wait for official test scores to approve a preliminary application???

DD is an upcoming senior in HS, dual-enrolled at our local college. We are trying to determine if it would be a wise move to re-adjust her fall schedule to include college level Calculus. It's a one semester class which means it moves very fast. Of course it would be outstanding SA prep but...
