My DS took ADHD meds until March 2020. Upon discontinuing meds, he ended his Junior year with all A’s even off meds. (3 AP classes, 2 honors)
DS took an online dual enrollment class last summer and also received an A (off meds).
1st semester of his Senior year (off meds) he was promoted to BC at his a military boarding school. Because of COVID, they structured their leadership program into the first 6 weeks of school and also had classes 6 days per week. It was intense and his days were long, usually beginning at 0500 and ending at 2230-0000. He ended his semester with all A’ and 2 B’s. His course load is heavy!
Currently, he has all A’s and is waiting to hear from USAFA. His cum GPA is 4.27 and if he maintains his grades, he will end with a 4.46 for this semester, which will bump his cum GPA TO ABOVE a 4.3. (Probabiy
Clearly, he has shown that he does not need medication. He is ranked first in his class academically, and serves his school as Battalion Commander, NHS, NSHS, Horton Society (service) and was Capt of the swim team.
Do you think he will receive a waiver? I know this is a loaded question, but he is waiting to hear and the waiting (for me) is a torture.
DS would be so honored to ATTEND USAFA or USAFAPS, and if he doesn’t receive an appointment this year, he will reapply until he gets the appointment. He won’t give up. Ever.
