<p>The interview may be scheduled anytime after the candidate has become an official candidate. CGO requests that it be completed no later than the 30% mark. However, they do not contact the AC until it is 100% complete. Many BGOs, me included, like to wait until the application is almost complete before scheduling an interview. At this point the candidate seems to be better prepared, knowing more about the Academy and the process, and the interview does not degrade to a counseling session on how to fill out the application.</p>
<p>Are you surmising reasons for the BGO not completing the interview? Are hardships such as excess mileage involved in doing an interview? A Medical DQ should not be an issue. The BGO should not (due to HIIPA) know the reasons for the DQ and therefore would not know the odds for a waiver. The waiver process is normally only initiated for viable candidates, however, unless you tell him, he will not know the status of the waiver initiation. </p>
<p>I can think of no logical reason to withhold the interview until updated test scores have been received. Perhaps, it is some misguided attempt to delay the package going before the board until it is more likely to be successful. However, the CGO will either determine this and not present the package or the board itself will place it on hold until the SAT/ACT cycle is complete. This is normal for marginal packages.</p>
<p>The regional director, if your package is complete, has already initiated correspondence to initiate the interview. If you are guessing as to the reasons the BGO has not completed the interview, wait a few more weeks and see what happens. If the BGO has related to you any of the above reasons you have mentioned, they are all incorrect, and you should probably contact the AC immediately and let him know what is happening.</p>
