Actually, current use of Accutane is a DODMERB disqualification. (D111.0)

However, admissions can offer a Conditional Appointment pending DODMERB qualification.

Medical qualification deadline is June 1 so you should be fine by then.

Yeah, the Intro class sounds a heck of a lot more manageable!

I'm bummed that Accutance constitutes a remedial; I'm glad that I'm still eligible for a conditional appointment, and it makes me slightly more relieved that I keep hearing that the Review Board does a holistic assessment of a candidate... sigh.

I don't know what my GPA translates to on a 4.0/5.0 scale, so I'm just giving you all what's on my transcript! Haha.

Thank you for your responses thus far!

It seems to me as though everyone that has heard back recently has recieved a deferral. By recently, I mean in the past few days. Eek!

Was your appointment conditional or full? I seem to remember you had a DODMERB issue that needed clearing.

And when you say "Accepted today" does that mean you have already accepted the appointment?

If so, congrats to you! 2012 is eagerly awaiting your arrival!

Sounds like a plan, thank you

It was indeed conditional. I'm scheduled to be off of the Accutane by the end of the month and will send in the necessary paperwork to be cleared.

Congratulations
Congratulations to PJODON and TRACKANDFIELD08 on your appointments for the class of 2013. Assuming that you both accept, you are in for a great ride this summer!
