I opened my Army ROTC application about two weeks ago and just got a letter in the mail explaining the process and it says I have 30 days to accept the scholarship once it is offered however West Point is my first choice and now that they eliminated their rolling applications process I won't find out whether I receive an appointment until the spring. I wanted to submit my ROTC application as soon as possible so I can get my medical exam taken care of (I had a slight fractured vertebrae last year that's a disqualification) so I have ample time to apply for a waiver. What should I do about submitting my applications in order to keep my options open but have enough time to apply for a medical waiver?
