My DS wants to get appointed to USMA but he has a single disqualification item that we knew about it. The portal's medical section has "Requested Waiver" since December 1, 2017. I understand that this is a waiting game, but I just want to get some feedback from others.
The DoDMERB's disqualification letter states that "Current or history of abnormal urinary findings: gross hematuria, microscopic hematuria, or pyuria." My DS has seen a pediatric nephrologist and his opinion is that this is a genetic thing that his mother, grandmother and other siblings have the same issues, but no one has any issues with kidney. So, the nephrologist stated that he doesn't have any concerns because he hasn't seen any progress on the findings since he was a little boy.
The letter was sent to DoDMERB in early February and USMA has the letter as well. Other than the medical condition, he is in very good spot in the district.
The questions are:
- It has been over 100 days and how long do we have to wait to see the decision?
- Since he also won the 4-year AROTC scholarship, so is it possible that one denies the waiver and the other grants the waiver?
Thanks.
