My daughter is interested in applying to West Point but she has a possibly prohibitive physical issue, which we have not found addressed in any online materials published by the academy. She has monocular vision which essentially means she is blind on one eye - from birth. Because she was born this way, her brain has compensated and she has no noticeable impairment. She plays sports, drives a car, etc. Does anyone know if this would eliminate her from the candidate pool automatically? Thanks!
