2023 SA applicants - has anyone been medically cleared yet?

About how many days does it take from taking your last exam to the academies medically qualifying you?

My DS completed his physical and vision exams on July 20. DoDMERB received his medical data on August 17. He became USMA qualified on 8/30/2018. He is still under review for USNA and USAFA.
Therefore, my educated guess is that if there are no issues it should take from 2-4 weeks for the status to change to qualified.

I believe based on forum anecdotes that it depends on the academy and when you complete your physical. 2-4 weeks as hopefulmom states is a reasonable estimate right now (my son's was in that time frame), but as the queue of applicants grows longer closer to deadlines the wait is typically longer.

A friend of mine who was a reviewer at DODMERB said they usually turned around exams in less than 7 days once it got to their queue. He said the busy season started in December so that's the time the turnaround took longer.

My DS took his medical and eye examine july 24 and it was sent to to Dodmets 7/27 still have a under review status

My son has his physical and vision done 7/19/18 and it has not been updated. I called the clinic and they said they send them on the same day of service, so just...waiting.

DS had all his exams finished by 7/20 and DoDMerb still shows under review as well.

One of the folks from DODMERB sent an email to my DD saying the system is still working out the kinks and things should be fixed next week.

Issue was she’s medically qualified for one SA but not the others. Lady said she was medically qualified for the others too but the kinks in the new system isn’t reflecting that.

My guess is the submissions are being worked on behind the scenes but the interface with the customers (ie our kids) isn’t working as intended right now. Might be working in some cases but clearly not all.
