I recently recieved an appointment to USMA and am wondering about the further medical and dental qualifications that you have to have prior to or during CBT, in particular the dental.
i remember seeing something about this elsewhere in the forum but i cant seem to find it...
I have an underbite that my orthodontist recommended me to get corrective surgery for. I opted not to mainly because of the cost and didnt want the recovery time to affect my sports season. Is it likely that USMA will rescind their appointment because of dental disqualifications / how strict is DENTAC? Also, if they say there is a disqualifying problem, do they give you an opportunity to get dental problems fixed?
Do many people get sent away because of this? If so, what happens to the cadet candidate? They will have already accepted admission and said no thanks to any other colleges, or ROTC scholarships for that matter, they applied to as a back up. I heard that West Point will pay for you to attend a military college and re-apply the next year. is this true?
Im sure other people will have similar questions as acceptance season rolls around so i hope my questions will help them too!
