Today USNA reached out to me asking for extra paperwork for my DQ so they can make a waiver decision. Do I send the paperwork to USNA directly or through DODMERB since this was not posted onto my DODMERB portal and just simply an email from USNA Medical Admissions.

I provided some context about the Service Academies. My teachers wrote a separate LoR for my SA applications vs. civilian colleges which I think is super helpful in making sure the SAs are getting a letter tailored specifically to what they are looking for.

Cornyn and my MOC! I got my Conditional LOA on April 1st to USNA

I sent in what I deemed to be likely requested, but DODMERB did not respond which is a little concerning.

Congrats!!! How long did he wait between the LOA and waiver? searching for some optimism....

Me too! Have you contacted anyone about it?

you will definitely have adequate time to sleep at NASS as long as you are in bed before 12 am which I don't think is too hard of a task

I would not say 2 weeks is accurate. I have an LOA but have waited for a month now, but no answer. I have a couple friends who have been waiting for 2 months plus.

With the number of people still waiting on a final decision from USNA (waiver/waiting list), I am starting to worry about how close to I-Day I will receive a decision. Since there is a great deal of paperwork that needs to be completed by I-Day, is there a way to ensure it will all get completed...

1490 SAT which is about 33-34 ACT is what got me an LOA, but always aim high. However, I would say work on your extracurriculars and leadership equally if not more than your test scores. I met a midshipman who had scored in the 1200s but had excellent leadership positions in high school, so it...

this gives me hope that my waiver is coming soon...

This is also a great idea! I went in mid-November the day after service selection and it was super cool!

I attended CVW in November and you will have tons of time to catch up with your work. As a drag, you'll be attending classes, but generally, I was encouraged to do my homework or read during the classes in the back of the classroom. My mid also spent some time in the library doing work as well...

Senator Cornyn! and MOC

In a similar boat here. My USNA portal changed to "Waiver Pending" on April 1st when I got my LOA, but I have not heard anything since then. What was the timeline between your son's portal saying "Waiver Pending" to "Under Review"?

Has anyone heard from USNA about their waiver? I have been under "waiver pending" for the past 22 days

I know that the admission decisions are coming to a close, but is there anyone who is still waiting for a waiver but has an LOA?

I would practice situps to a cadence, I remember Stew Smith saying that 1 sec/situp should be what we should aim for in order to max out. Probably not a matter of strength but time

I believe each academy has different standards, not to mention a different set of people reviewing, so a no go at USMA might be alright at USNA

Have you contacted their office or moving forward with Plan B now?
