As long as you can avoid Kryptonite, I'd say you are an excellent candidate at whatever school you apply to.

Wow! I gotta agree with Luigi...I think the CGA would be very happy to have you! You certainly blew my stats out of the water and I was accepted to the c/o 2013...I was a Bravo Company swab as well, one of your cadre, Mr. Williams was the man, he certainly helped my division out when we didn't know indoc by having the Aimsters screaming the mission! Anyway, I will we be with 2014 this year (if I fulfill all of the conditions of my deferral), and I hope to see you there too! Good luck!

Thank you! Hopefully you're right, im just having the normal worries about getting in... many people are getting LOA's and such...

Additionally, I believe I was supposed to receive my DoDMERB form within a month of filling out the first part of the application online, but it's been several months and nothing. Is that normal and everything?

Relax - "many people" are NOT getting LOAs. Only 46 LOAs were awarded by CGA Admissions Office. Your best bet is still Early Action admissions - as long as your completed application (not including DODMERB) is submitted by November 1 you are elgible to receive a EA decision by December 15th.

First off, it cannot be "several months" as the application only has been active since September 1.

Second, there is no "form" that is sent - after you submit your online application, you will receive a letter from DODMERB (or their contractor, Concorde) with instructions on scheduling your medical examination.
