Dobmerb exam requested

If West Point has requested a medical exam for you, does that mean you have a good chance at getting in? I read somewhere that they only request it if they think you are a competitive candidate.

More people will have an exam, than will be appointed. It’s part of the physical/academic/nomination trifecta, required for an appointment.

Many fully qualified applicants will not receive an appointment. So best is to continue to also secure a solid Plan B.

All appointed candidates will be qualified by DoDMERB or be granted a medical waiver but not all qualified candidates will be offered appointment. It is similar to being academically qualified. I will say that if you did not appear to be competitive they might not put you in for a medical at all.

Requesting a medical exam is not a major indicator of likelihood to receive an appointment. It is certainly an important step, but generally just completing a number of administrative steps along the way will unlock a medical exam opportunity. Getting qualified medically is a much bigger deal. The pool of candidates who medically qualify is considerably smaller than the pool of candidates who have exams scheduled.
