Hi, I'm a class of 2027 applicant to USAFA and I was unfortunately medically DQ'd on January 25th for being blind as a bat.
D155.70: Myopia - refractive error greater than -8.00 diopters (spherical equivalent).
I have two nominations in a pretty competitive area (close to Wright Patt AFB) so I'm pretty hopeful for my chances but yet again, who knows? It's been almost two months since I was notified and I've read a few people on here that got theirs in a few days or weeks which is pretty disheartening for my case but I'm still holding onto the dream. On the bright side, I received a 4-year type 1 ROTC scholarship through the space force which I'm currently in the remedial process of getting a waiver for right now. That was posted on February 23 so almost a month for this one and still no update from the CIV team about finding a provider close to me to help do my remedial.
For anyone that's had any similar experiences or just knows anything about when I might hear back, I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any nuggets of wisdom.
