As an individual applies to a SA or ROTC program - at some point in the process (it depends on the program) the name is uploaded to DoDMERB.
Any info that DoDMERB already has is posted out to that program so they can see where you stand.
If for instance, you get your DoDMERB from AROTC (the quickest by the way) and are medically qualified (yippee!!!) then later in the summer USMA uploads your name they will see that you are already cleared medically.

Remember - if you are DQ’d - each program has it’s own waiver board.

Per Dr Office - these physician’s may not do a lot of these so some staff may not be familiar with the process at first - don’t worry though they will take care of you.

A bit of advice - complete the medical history first - before you go. Get your parents to help you with it. Answer the questions and answer them honestly.
Don’t worry about there being a “wrong” answer - your history is what it is. Not every “bad” answer is a dq.

My daughter did her’s online - but the medical center still wanted the hand written history and sent that in.

Do NOT delay in anything DoDMERB ask you to do. You who are getting your cards now are lucky, you are ahead of the game. Remedials and waivers can take months and months.
