<p>It may. </p>
<p>There are over 400 different medical conditions that can disqualify someone from a service academy.</p>
<p>But DQ’s are not the end of the line - waivers are granted every year, for almost every condition on the list. </p>
<p>Much of it depends on the strength of your daughter’s application and how badly a particular SA wants her. </p>
<p>As a parent, you can prepare by gathering and maintaining all of her medical records from birth to present, as well as (may be premature now) having her physician write a letter detailing her condition (or lack of) and stating that she shows no symptoms or has any restrictions on activity. When (if) the DQ arrives you will be better prepared for all the follow-up (known as “remedials”) questions and forms.</p>
