Do you get some sort of medical exam or form you have to fill out on R-Day? And if something happens to you and you report it to your admissions officer, would you be relieved of your appointment (I don't have an injury, my parents are just big on preventing one)?
You are given a serious once-over by medical staff that hang around and manage the height, weight, and blood draw. That is when you are checked for tattoos and any possible injuries and scars from recent surgical corrections made since the Dodmerb medical exam. If you do get injured, reach out to your FF Rep and RC immediately and be honest. WP will make a determination if it is something that is waiverable and still let you come on R Day. If not this cycle, then they will probably give you an LOA for the next class, tell you to go to college for a year, and then reapply. I have had to deal with 2 recent late cycle injuries with candidates in my district. One - a hockey player broke his arm in Feb. He got an LOA, went to college (summer, fall and spring terms), reapplied, and received one of the first offers this year. Another one from 2 years ago - broke his wrist skiing in March after receiving his offer. WP pulled his offer and made it conditional on healing and getting a waiver. Got the waiver, but offer was still conditional on passing a brief medical review first thing on R Day. They made him do 40 push ups and he did more pull ups than his CFA score. So he waltzed right in and had a great summer. Parents were a wreck - they drove the whole way to WP not knowing if their son would stay or come home with them on R Day.
If you get injured the answer is: It Depends. Depending on the type of injury and the duration of healing time and the ability to assess what happened. So, best to be very safe.
