[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When can applicants get results from medical exam? It should be done in the first stage as the initial screening. Or else, when a kid finished essays, applied for several nominations, but eventually found he is not qualified for some small physical issues. that's cruel. IT also wast too much time.

Also, if a pretty strong applicant didn't get nomination, is that the end? Is there any other way to help? I feel the nomination is the hardest part.

As I told my current cadet when they were applying, 'you're trying to join the largest bureaucracy in the world. Sometimes it will be frustrating now and for however long you stay in.'

Medical processing isn't later to try to screw anyone over, but they need to weed out some kids first because they couldn't process all applicants otherwise. It's a small contact staff that already gets overwhelmed. And from the DC area, yes-- I think the nomination is the hardest part. It is possible but highly unlikely to get the vice-presidential nomination or a service-related one if parents were career military.[/quote]
