Hello everyone,
I have several dq's for mental health issues when I was in elementary and middle school, I have been working hard to show that I can succeed with rigor (stress with divorce and other factors compounded original issues), but will still need waivers. When I apply for waivers, does...
I was told my West Point application isn’t competitive enough for my DodMerb to be viewed or approved by West Point. Thus West Point isn’t being shown on my DodMerb. But is there still a chance i could get accepted to the Prep school. Im still competitive enough for USMMA, USAFA, and USNA. So I...
I got offered an LOA in late fall but was withdrawn because I didn't pass the CFA in time. Fast forward to today, CFA is submitted, and Dodmerb got back to me, informing me that I am medically disqualified due to my medical history of Autism spectrum disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Current...
Hello All,
Just a few minutes ago, I was informed that I had been disqualified from obtaining a medical waiver for USMA and my case is closed, which is heartbreaking. I would like to know if that also translates to being disqualified from obtaining a waiver to USNA and if it makes my chances of...
Hello everyone. If I apply for a SA or ROTC my senior year, I will have 4 disqualifications (504 past 14, I have proof no accomodations used and a rigorous courseload with success in it, (light) depression meds within 36 months, and adjustment disorder/depression (diagnosis rescinded/concluded...
Hi, I've been trying to log into my portal and even though I'm entering the correct password, it gives me the prompt that my "username or password is incorrect". I tried to request a password change but nothing shows up in my inbox (checked spam and junk). I sent an email to admissions, but does...
Hi all, and thanks in advance for your response.
I was curious if the DODMERB process has a specific deadline to be completed by, and if it’s completion is necessary to hear back from the service academies.
My application has been submitted since December 18th, but I haven’t been able to...
For some context, I am currently a candidate for USAFA for the class of 2029. I received both an LOA from USAFA and a nomination from one of my state's senators. I just received notice today that I was denied a medical waiver for syncope. The syncope in question was passing out after a cross...
A few weeks ago I had my DoDMERB physical exam. After it had been submitted, I received an email from DoDMERB stating that my file needs additional medical information, specifically "Missing CYL/AXIS values on eye exam." I called the DoDMERB office to see what I needed to do and they said that...
Hello everyone, been a bit since I've posted on here. Is there a different likelihood of getting a waiver when applying through ROTC vs an SA? My understanding is that waivers are considered IF a scholarship is granted for the ROTC program. On the other hand, USNA and the other SA's take into...
Hi all,
I've been a reader of the service academy forums for a while, but this is my first time posting. I currently have 2 nominations for USNA, and 1 for both USMA and USAFA. I am currently academically and physically qualified, but waiting on a waiver for my medical. I have had my exam...
I recently took my DoDMERB eye exam. Colorblindness runs in my family, so I have previously taken colorblindness tests which I have passed. During the DoDMERB exam, I messed up on a few of the colorblindness slides. I don’t think I’m colorblind, since I have passed tests of this nature before...
Hello,
I am currently active duty applying for USAFA. I have everything completed except my DODMERB portion which I was going to complete while here at my homestation, however I have recently been placed on a 3 month TDY to Yokota.
I believe I can not get my exams done when I return as those...
I have completed my DODMERB test about four weeks ago and the status in the portal is showing up as “Complete and on hold”.
I tried to reach out to the case manager by phone but no response. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Last year I went to a doctor and he diagnosed me and gave me a prescription but I soon stopped taking it when I saw it wasn't working. I then went on vacation to Spain and the pharmacist told me it was actually just Tinea Versicolor that got cleared up very fast with an anti-fungus cream but...
Good evening,
Is it possible to still get a nomination if I got DQed? Would getting a nomination show to the service academies I am competitive for a waiver? If you get a waiver and a nomination, can you still get rejected by admissions? Is it common in general for people to get a waiver for...
Hi Everyone,
I am currently in AFROTC. I have a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic regurgitation. I am in my freshman year and have not yet started the dodmerb process. I know that I am going to get medically disqualified due to this condition.
However, according to the Airforce...
Is anyone aware of a consult that focuses on the DODMERB?
My son wants to apply to some of the academies and want to successfully navigate the process.
Seems like there are numerous potential pitfalls and would like guidance.
I see there was a firm DODMERB consultants discussed several...
Hi all! I was wondering if a history of having an std is a disqualifying factor for DoDMERB... I'm trying to be 100% honest on the DoDMERB survey and paperwork. Is it a disqualifying factor if you somehow happen to have contracted an std in the past, but you're completely healthy now? What about...
Hello,
I won a three-year side load NROTC MO scholarship. I am currently “Under Waiver Review” for a D161.21 “History of surgery for peptic ulceration or perforated ulcer”. Since this surgery I have recovered, and continued back to unrestricted actives. I currently take no medications, and went...
