I believe that the medical issues come after the scholarship has been awarded. My son received his scholarship, then we went for the eye appointment and the physical. He had a "remedial" on his physical for which we had to visit another specialist. The process took a little less than 1 month to resolve. However, his status on the NROTC website still listed him as a scholarship recipient. I do agree that timing is a factor. I was at Notre Dame in August with my daughter for freshman orientation where I met a retired Navy Captain with twin daughters there on Navy ROTC scholarships. I asked him about the process and he told me to get everything done as early as possible, that ND's slots filled up quickly. Early for him meant August, but we didn't get my son's application done completely until October. Apparently that was still fine, but I would go with his definition of early and for future applicants get their entire packages in by the end of summer prior to their senior year, if possible.
