Good Evening, I have been consuming a lot of this forum, but I decided it was about time I posted a question myself.
So I've received a Nomination to USAFA from a particularly hard district (700+ Applicants in CO-01), and been served a Medical Disqualification. I have noticed many people of this forum citing that March, particularly March 10th, is a big date for Appointments. However, it is my understanding that USAFA will not Appoint without a final Medical Determination. With this in mind, I have two questions:
1. The Academy has not requested a waiver on my behalf. Does this mean that I am losing out on Appointment Opportunities? The longer I wait for a waiver, do my chances decrease significantly?
2. Since I am in a competitive district, is going to be substantially more difficult for me to achieve an Appointment? I understand that there are other at-large appointment opportunities, but what are the odds I receive one of those compared to an appointment based off of my MOC?
Thank you for anyone who can help.
