USAFA Waiting Thread C/O 2027

DS got the same request yesterday and entered his information and then this morning he got an email from Air Force saying they have received his file from DoDMERB and he is medically qualified.
 
I got the height and weight plus the body fat. I had my DoDMERB completed back in Sept for USNA but is still has not updated for USAFA.

For those of you tracking timelines for DODMERB results.... DS had med. and vision exam completed 11/5/22 and received "qualified" notice today.

I think it varies. Got mine done by 10/10/22, still no notice.
 
Ds got the height and weight email too with a link to a site that told him he already submitted or they had it from dodmerb. He's been dodmerb cleared since September. He emailed his team at USAFA including his height and weight and received an email back this morning that he was good.
Waiting is hard

So he did need to send his height and weight or didn't?

I had the same thing where I'm DODMERB cleared and it said I already submitted my height and weight and no further action was needed so I didn't bother emailing anyone.

Same. DoDMERB complete and box checked for USNA and USMA since November, but showing incomplete for USAFA. All SAs should have received results at same time.

I don't know, he included the info in his email. Not sure if it was necessary or not.
 
Good luck to all! My son is at the USAFA Prep School and waiting until May arrives so he can receive the good news that he is joining the Class of 2027. Any questions about the Prep School, let me know.

Just thought I would let’s you guys know that the admissions board met on January 3rd so hopefully that means so more appointments flowing through soon

Just wondering where you find this info? Is this something that you got from your ALO or admissions officer?

I suspect USAFA’s Admissions Board has been meeting regularly, likely weekly, since the start of the academic year. There are many parallel and intersecting processes and decisions ongoing, performed by various collaborating groups, a finely tuned and intricate decision matrix with multiple players. I believe the Board looks at overall admissibility. The Noms and Appointment folks are doing their coordinating pieces of class-building. Medical waiver decision actions are threaded throughout. New data is still coming in. Prepsters and college re-applicants are starting to come into focus. The “numbers” are being monitored to see how the yield (accepted offers out of extended offers) is coming along, with regard to the target range size for the class. The appropriate senior authority makes final decisions on appointment offers. The work overlaps, surges, shifts and re-coalesces as each “nomination bucket” is resolved.

After the Board meets, someone does not jump up and run to a keyboard to update portals with offers of appointment. Someone whose record might have been seen by the Board in October might not get an offer until March. It’s a complex, dynamic, carefully orchestrated process - awesome when you think about it - as the fine folks on these SA Admissions teams labor to meet class goals, intentionally and carefully consider each application, and gradually and expertly build a new class “from scratch” each year, threading all these functions and data elements into the fluid process of decisions large and small.

For any Admissions people reading this, big crisp salutes to you for how you drive this process every year and work together as a multi-functional team, everyone addressing their particular responsibility, to get it done. Extra crisp salute for “The DoDMERB Challenge” this year.

As always thanks for the great information Capt MJ!
 
I have received an email from USAFA admission saying my medical evaluation has been received by USAFA and I’m qualified but this is the 3rd time I have received this email, just wondering what’s going on or if anyone else has had this happen?
