I've read everything from virtually impossible (having to prove the original diagnosis was incorrect) to simply having to be off the meds for at least 90 days with no adverse effects.

Did you also submit unofficial transcripts?

I have TH. Scheduled everything except my drug test, haven't gotten any additional info on that.
I'm in the same boat too. From research on this site it seems like most people think it might be disqualifying but no one knows for sure. On the other hand, I haven't seen anyone say they got in with an ADD/ADHD diagnosis. So it's pretty discouraging, especially since it was over a decade ago and I have no other marks against me, but I'm preparing myself for the possibility that I'll be disqualified.
Just a heads up for those who haven't done fingerprints yet - make sure you send 2 fingerprint cards. I've been pretty organized in getting things done and just have my e-Qip to submit, but somehow I overlooked this part of the fingerprint instructions and only caught it as I was reviewing everything.
Ya, I'm just assuming that I will be DQ'ed then at least I won't be terribly disappointed if it does happen.

This was in the email I got after I sent in my pre-employment interview worksheet:
Schedule your drug test now by contacting BAE/EMSI Call Center at 1-866-236-3674.
They are available 24-hours a day/7-days a week. You are required to take a drug test within 5 business days of completing your physical examination.
I would recommend giving them a call ASAP and scheduling your drug test since it has to be within 5 business days of your physical.

I've read about people getting medicals having been diagnosed with ADHD, but they usually have to take a CogScreen to prove the original diagnosis was incorrect or that it's no longer applicable. I guess we'll find out.
Yeah that's really all I'm asking for: a chance to disprove a "diagnosis" from ~15 years ago. I understand why they take a hardline stance on this kind of thing, but at the end of the day all I have is my story against something that's on my medical record, so a chance to test past it would be awesome.
Where does it say that? I’m wondering because it is nowhere to be found in my security instructions email.

"You may also obtain fingerprints at your local police station – if you choose this option, print out two copies of the attached SF-87 or you may use the cards that the law enforcement agency uses. Ensure all information is completed on the card and the fingerprinting official signs both cards. Please mail (USPS/UPS/FEDEX) the cards to the PSS name and address found on this email. We require the ORIGINAL cards"

It's the first step my security POC gave me in the first e-mail they sent.
Pool 1 boss
That is so much more than my email included. My email did not specify copies, originals, or shipping via USPS. How can we all get such different instructions? Ha.
Same lol. Mine forgot to even attach the fingerprint forms, and when I did get them, there were no instructions.

Received a phone call asking if I could be at OKC on short notice or if I wanted to wait
yeah, pool 1
My timeline:
TOL - 11/6/19
CIL - 11/15/19
MMPI competed - 11/18/19
E-QIP submitted - 11/22/19
Drug test - 11/25/19
Medical Exam - 11/26/19
FOL - 12/6/19
my situation will vary from yours. I work at a radar facility (not as a controller) so I was able to take my MMPI right away and I already had a security clearance. Still had to redo the clearance, but I assume it was a faster process the second time around.
Good luck to everyone and stay patient!
