Hello!
I am currently an AFROTC freshman reapplying to USAFA. This past winter, I received a stress fracture in my leg that has since healed 100%. However, under DoDMERB guidelines, any stress fracture (single or recurrent) is disqualifying. AFROTC gave me a waiver overnight (literally). However, the Academy has not been so quick. My question is: how will being medically disqualified affect my chances at appointment? I understand that the Academy can and does give medically conditional appointments, but will the supposed uncertainties in my health cause the folks at admissions to think twice? In short, I am wondering if I am in a unofficial state of 'limbo.'
Some additional background information: I was a qualified candidate last year (and this year as well); I received a waiver from AFROTC and USAFA for a different issue when I applied last year but was still disqualified for several months (perhaps a sign of some promise?); and I have three nominations this year.
Thanks in advance for any and all insights/ assistance!
