Good afternoon, about 3 months ago I completed the USNA application in its entirety, including nominations, CFA, etc... except for my DoDMERB. I have not received any correspondence to schedule an exam and my understanding that I cannot be considered for an appointment until this happens. I've respectfully called the admissions office 4 times, and they told me that DoDMERB is responsible for reaching out to me, and then I reached out to DoDMERB and they told me USNA has to request for them to give me a test... so what do I do? The admissions guy at the office also told me that I could try retaking my CFA(which I already passed).

Is it true that I cannot receive an appointment without the DoDMERB exam completed?

thank you

For any DODMERB related questions, please contact Mr. Mullen, forum resident expert.

In some cases, I believe, if Admissions does not deem a candidate competitive, they do not submit that candidates name to DOMERB for a physical. If thats the case, Admissions should tell you. Perhaps go onto the Admissions Chat session and enquire. Good luck.
 
The Admisson's Board will consider your application prior to completion of DODMERB.
USNA Admissions will schedule your DODMERB physical when they feel it is appropriate.
You will not receive an Appointment without passing the DODMERB physical.

I’m actually doing this on behalf of a friend of mine. His file is VERY competitive, IMO.
 
I had the same issue earlier in this year’s admission cycle. If you look at the candidate instruction packet there is a number for you to call if you have not been contacted within 1 month after having completed 1/2 of the application.

I've been having the same problem. What did they tell you when you contacted them?

I'm applying this year as well, and here's what I gathered:
You must schedule your own exams and report them through the DODMERB portal.
Within a few weeks after your exams, you will receive word back from someone if you will need a waiver or not.
The academy will then review your application and if they think you are competitive, they will ask you to get a waiver.
Hope this helps.

You schedule your exams through DoDMETS and your name has to have been sent by the Academy for you to make an account to schedule your exams.

When I called they apologized for the delay. They said they have been extremely busy. Was told that they would manually input me into the system, and if I didn’t gain access within a week to call again. Received notice of dodmerb initiation the next day.
