As far as I know, yes. You're given a general timeframe (e.g. "Week of August 30th"). About a week before, each interviewer will contact you to schedule times so you'll probably have them on different days.
You'll probably hear from them later next week. I heard from my interviewers the Wednesday/Thursday before the week of my interview.
Great, thank you so much!
I was complete mid-July (supplemental submitted 6/28) and got the "complete" email last week. I by no means intend to speak on behalf of everyone, but it appears that some people who were fully complete at the beginning (supplemental/pre-req match) may have got II emails approx. 5-6 weeks after receiving their "complete" emails. I think these are interesting anecdotal samples, but don't take these as absolutes. Semper Fi
They will see all your scores. The MCAT is not weighed heavily. The AAMC recommends that a score of 500 on the mcat is sufficient evidence of the ability to succeed in medical school, and USUHS takes that seriously.
I got an email title starting with [Dod Safe] with a link to a turn in page. I didn't use any code. Then again, I can't guarantee you that I did this right. This was 2 days after II
Apperciate the response. It’s been 5 days since my invite so I’m gonna reach out! Good luck with your interview/cycle!!!
Awesome, thank you. Side note, I really like your signature.
The military’s party line is you have to have been off for at least 2 years and been able to function well without it, however there is a lot of variability across branches, case by case, etc. So it depends to some degree
I believe they take the highest score but they see every attempt. Generally speaking, medical schools do not superscore MCAT sections from different exams. From the website:
Keep doing the sit-ups, push-ups, etc. It'll be something you'll have to do every year active duty, and I would assume at USUHS, too.
“Who treated you” lol… Um me in CVS?
So I answered all of these as truthfully as possible and then the NP that gave me my physical told me that it was overboard.
No fitness test for DoDMERB other than the physician asking you to do a few mobility movements (e.g. some squats, bends, twists, etc.) to see if you're physically OK. The PFT comes during the 5-6 week officer orientation camp thing.
Gotcha thanks everyone! Civilian here, so trying to keep track of everything is... a lot.
Yes, you can decline. I was accepted last cycle (put Navy as 1st but was given an Army spot). After talking to Capt. Liotta, I decided to decline because (1) my acceptance was last-minute, (2) wanted to give my spot to someone who admired the Army as much as I admire the Navy, and (3) I wanted to tie up loose ends and grow more as an individual.
I feel like this is the kind of question that warrants an email
Yeah I sent a few. Just want to know if I need to start dieting and stop working out asap
DoDMERB physical is good for two years. You may be requested to submit a form updating your current medical 'status' but it's unlikely you will have to go through another DoDMERB physical.
So question on DoDMERB: i was hospitalized when I was 2 years old for a XXX and do not know the exact date of my hospitalization. I contacted the hospital and have not been able to get the records in a timely manner. Is it reasonable to put a date that is kinda in the realm of when I was hospitalized or it needs to be the exact date. I have not had any XXX since age 2.
I was hospitalized when I was young for something that required surgery. I thought I was around 3 years old when it happened and I answered the DoDMERB questionnaire as if the event occurred when I was that age (I also remembered it being cold so I put "December/Janurary"). Had the physical and the doctor just asked me a few questions about it. It never came up again because it isn't something that would affect me today. A few weeks later, the hospital I was admitted to finally sent me my medical records and it turns out I was 5 years old and it happened in March.
Much appreciated your comment!!!
About 5 weeks
It generally takes 5-6 weeks earlier in the cycle but it can take 10+ weeks when we're deeper into the cycle (when we factor in holidays).
I don't think you get a notification for your SF-86 if you're in the clear. From what I recall, they will call you if they have any questions/concerns.
. We're all in this together.
A lot of these things are dependent on the individual but I know people who have had waivers for that go through.
Congrats!
