Quick Intro: U.S. Marine 2003-2007 (I.T. related field). 2 tours Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan. Worked as a Defense Contractor in IT field for another 3 years in the Middle East and at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Used my GI bill benefits to become a Registered Nurse and shortly after for med school pre-reqs. Trying to pursue my dream of becoming a physician in the military.
Planning to apply this cycle, but my MCAT has been pushed back to late October, so my application will be late. I was wondering if there were any other requirements besides being accepted to an accredited medical school to become a physician officer in the military. Besides the regular health and physical requirements is there anything else? (i.e., MCAT score cut-off? GPA?)
I know I should be studying and ace my MCAT first so I can get accepted anywhere and then worry about getting in the military, but I come here on this forum for encouragement since the MCAT is over-freaking-whelming!
Any advice/suggestions are welcome! (Any med schools who might take me in if I promise to go to the military for another 40 years?! j/k.) Thank you!
