<p>There is no way to predict if your son will get in or not at this point. The competition is fierce and you are correct on the medical. It’s a wild card you can not control and may be a surprise show stopper in the process.</p>
<p>Your son should have multiple backup plans. These could include other Academys, private military schools ( Norwich, VMI, etc…) ROTC at other schools etc. The list of possiblities is long. Go after any and all scholorships. He can always say no in the spring.</p>
<p>Lastly even if your son gets a LOA and is passed by medical he has to sign and return a letter of acceptance. It’s the final reality check for an 18 year old, do I really want this and I accept the life style change this will bring. Most say yes but some do say no.</p>
<p>Backup plans are a must at this point.</p>
