<p>Top of the "waiver" food chain yes. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait and see how the other LOA's (who do not need waivers) compete with your daughter's.</p>
<p>Considering the minor (in my opinion, anyway) type of medical waiver required in your daughter's case, I would hope she is in very good position at this juncture. So, I think your Regional Director's assesment is certainly valid. The regional director has power with the board because he is the one who feeds the files to the board. Having that person cheering for you is SIGNIFICANT and not to be taken lightly (IMHO).</p>
<p>Hang in there! It is still early actually.</p>
<p>Oh, and my last post should have PAE or CFA, not PAO (public affairs officer...what the heck?!?!?). ;)</p>
