<p>I’m fairly certain that anything worse than 20/40 requires a waiver. Then again that could be fresh in my head because 20/40 uncorrected is the limit for pilot… If he needs a waiver than it will make the appointment a little bit tougher. To put into perspective, when I went through admissions my BGO told me that with good vision I would be a “sure shot” to get in, but with my waiver I would still probably get in. As far as I know nothing has changed in the past five years and the way it was explained to me then was that only 1/3 of each class could have waivers. With that in mind, if more than 1/3 of applicants have a medical waiver, than application for that specific subset becomes tougher.</p>
<p>If any of my info is off any BGOs out there fell free to chime in</p>
