Any ROTC cadets?

[ObstetricsMan]

Im starting college and Air Force ROTC this fall and I'm just curious how beneficial it is for a pre-med student. Does this look good on med school apps? will it give me a better shot at USUHS?
I understand if i dont get into a med school i'll get stuck doing something else but thats cool with me.
any info would be appreciated.

You could be stuck doing something else anyways, if whatever job/degree you have is in high demand. There's no guarantee that they will allow you to attend medical school even if you are accepted. Be careful.

I did Army ROTC during my undergrad. & served four years active duty prior to applying to medical school.

ROTC requires an extremely disciplined person in order to do well both academically & militarily. ROTC consumes ENORMOUS amounts of time during the week and kills your weekend study plans, esp. during your 3rd/4th years b/c of all the Field Training Exercises.

If you are certain you want to do undergrad & immediately go to medical school, I recommend NOT doing ROTC. However, if you want great life experience & to do great things for God & Country prior to medical school, DO ROTC.

Good Luck........................................
