Fortunately you have a little bit of time to work on receiving a waiver. My dad years ago had a medical waiver due to an accident (he never had to run for PT tests except a handful of tiemes although he did the rest). He had to appeal the disqualifications and ask for a waiver directly to the Army Surgeon General stating his reasons for appealing and a physicians statement saying he was healthy and the disqualifying reason would not interfere with his duties and no complications to daily life. Later he was sent a letter saying he was approved for a waiver which went into his permanent file. He kept a copy for his own records which he later needed when the military lost his records.
That sounds promising. I had a leg problem when i was a kid, but I am doing fine now. I guess the name of my condition scared them since the physician doing my physical told me everything looked fine and he would give them the green light. Doing PT might actually help my case; I don't know if that is part of the process. The more I think about USUHS, the more I want to go there. Anyway, thank you for all your help.
