By 'admissions officer' do you mean the Congressional district coordinator? That's the only person listed on my liaisons on the portal, and I think I've called him a grand total of once, and could have gotten by without doing that. I've never really talked to any admissions reps.
And thanks for the advice about the waiting list, Dixieland. I'll do that.
No, I think 845something meant your WP admissions officer, the officer who looks after your part of the country. You can find your person by going to the Admissions section on the official West Point website. But I believe DoDMERB would be the first call you would make if the knee diagnosis is not good.
Yes, call the specialist's office, tell them your predicament, and ask to be called if there is a cancellation, even if it's short notice. There's no guarantee that a spot will open and other patients might be on the waiting list ahead of you, but the receptionists might be able to get you in this week if they are aware of your problem and deadline. Can't hurt to ask.
Chin up and hang in there! You still have time!
