Expedite Medical Waiver?

[Deathhawk150]

I have my initial appointment to USAFA! However, while filling out my initial medical questionnaire, I mistakenly recorded that I had a concussion at 13 yrs old. When I actually looked at the medical records later, the 2013 CT scan showed that there was no evidence that I'd ever had a concussion to begin with. Even though it never existed, I'm still required to receive a medical waiver in order to attend the academy.

While USAFA is my first choice, I've also been offered a full ride scholarship to Georgia Tech. I still haven't heard back from the waiver authority and the deadline to decline Georgia Tech is May 3rd. Do y'all have any advice about how I can expedite the waiver process and receive a response hopefully before next Monday? As I said before, I want to attend USAFA, but I don't want to foreclose my other options should I get denied.


Thanks.

In the same boat as you! I have until Friday to decide but I want to see if I get AROTC medically qualified.

Thanks.

You can honestly just accept Georgia tech (would just have to pay the fee) and pull out once you get notification from USAFA. Although, that Georgia Tech free ride looking quite amazing as well.

Good evening Mr. Mullen, I resent the email because There was a mysterious extra “e” in the address I was copying also!

It isn’t just you lol. I looked back at the last two emails I tried to send and the same thing was happening to me! For some reason when I copy and paste the address it tosses in that awkward extra “e”!
