@wvdad

I can completely sympathize with your situation sirmikeix. My daughter is in a nearly identical dilemma. I have the thread about USNA medical waivers. She has already lost over 40K in potential scholarships due to timing/delays. </p>

<p>Right now we are in contact with several “back-up” schools letting them know we are still very interested. A couple we have even told of the waiting game with the Academy.</p>

<p>My daughter sweats blue and gold, so she has mentally made the decsion to “wait it out” and keep praying the Academy comes around. She says she’ll take what’s still available for a year if USNA falls through and retry next year.</p>

<p>She plans on going 28-June regardless of status on hope she may be one of the “lucky” ones that gets a last minute slot do to attrition.</p>

<p>That definitelly isn’t the answer for all but, it’s her future and she seems determined. </p>

<p>Have you been in contact with your Regional Director? Be sure to maintain lines of communication. This is critical.</p>

<p>Good luck & keep us informed of status. Prayers are with you.

<p>Wvdad, All the luck in the world to your daughter. I have asked my Regional Director a couple questions, but besides that, I have pretty much kept the ball in my court. If I get in to usna, however, I will most certainly talk to him about my situation.
I thought about reapplying next year if I do not get in this year, but that would force me to give up my 4-year Marine scholarship-which in itself is hard to regain, much less receive. My buddy who is now a usna mid broke his arm asleep at the wheel after he had given up all his college acceptances. He obviously couldn’t go to usna that year after getting accepted and had to pay his way through for one year. Has anyone else received the 4-year scholarship, and if so, what is your plan?
