Waiver and Admission Chance

Does having a more competitive file increase your chance of receiving a medical waiver? Or does it not matter?

 

[MullenLE]

No
It does no

Generally.

But a medical waiver for color blindness?

Generally.

But a medical waiver for color blindness?

Same chances as everyone else. It’s all up to admissions about what factors they consider when giving out waivers.

 

[MullenLE]

No Admissions just requests the medical waiver.
Medical waivers are NOT issued by USAFA

Correction: Not issued by USAFA Admissions. Those are issued by the Af Recruiting Services/ Accession Medical Waiver Division
