5. OK, DoDMERB has determined that I did not meet the DoD medical accession standards. Is it possible to get a waiver from somebody?
Yes, in certain circumstances.
A medical waiver allows applicants to enter military service programs even though they may not have met DoD medical standards. Waivers may be granted by the program to which you’re applying, NOT DoDMERB. The Service Academies automatically consider applicants for a medical waiver if they are competitive for admission. All ROTC programs will automatically consider all scholarship awardees and competitive scholarship applicants for a waiver.
