    Re: Please Help! HS Senior in Distress

    Hello, I'm also a senior in high school in hopes of becoming a fighter pilot.  There is only one drawback in my circumstances.  I have mitral valve prolapse.  Apparently this is a pilot disqualification.  Is there any chance I can get a waiver for this to become a pilot?  My blood pressure is normal as well as my heart rate.  Also, I have had absolutely no symptoms associated with MVP whatsoever.  How will this affect my chances of becoming a fighter pilot if I go to the Air Force Academy?  Thanks for all of your responses.
