Are there any USUHS applicants out there? The interview invites are due to come out in a couple of weeks. I'd like to link up and compare notes.
I applied to the Air Force military track. I've been researching on this site and it appears that invites go out on the first week of Feb and the interviews occur in the middle to end of Feb.I applied but I'm afraid my chances are slim. Do you by any chance know when the interviews might be? I am trying by best to keep my commander informed. We have an inspection starting late Feb and I'm afraid they might conflict slightly.
Did you apply for the military or civilian track?
What branch are you in?I applied but I'm afraid my chances are slim. Do you by any chance know when the interviews might be? I am trying by best to keep my commander informed. We have an inspection starting late Feb and I'm afraid they might conflict slightly.

Air Force, well technically I am full time air national guard. I was previously active duty air force but switched a few years back.What branch are you in?
Is this your first time applying?Air Force, well technically I am full time air national guard. I was previously active duty air force but switched a few years back.
It is! Have you applied before? I'm anxious to see what the interview is like. I've been in front of military boards before but I've never done a school interview before.Is this your first time applying?
Please drop a line here is you are contacted for an interview!
I asked for the status. Hopefully you all have much better luck than I didI'm really sorry to hear that. The whole process is incredibly stressful. If you don't mind my asking, did you email them requesting the status of your application or did they just volunteer the information?
I was. It was unofficial, but I figured it was close enough. Now I can focus on this upcoming inspection and finishing my master's degreeI'm sorry to hear that we're you the one that posted on grad cafe, koba? You were military track?
Time isn't on my side age wise being that I'm already 29. Plus I already have 12 years time in service. Such if life, just wasn't meant to be.Thanks for the update. I know many people apply multiple times trying to get in.

I might try to do that. Until then I'll keep focused on the mission. Can't do the whole fly fight win thing without someone to keep that cash flow in line. Finance might not be a glamorous job, but somebody has to do it.If you are planning on making a career out of it, I would apply again next year! Maybe volunteer in a research lab? I find that's the area we can most influence, if our undergrad GPA is already done with. That, and study more for the GRE and get bangin' SOPs.
I think you have a good package! The only thing I see is lacking research experience....have you done any research?That's interesting... I wonder if that means my package was THAT bad? Are my stats completely horrible?
Undergrade in social psychology: 3.85 overall 3.93 major
Graduate in IO psychology: 4.0 still enrolled (graduate in may)
GRE: 152/152 (lessen learned do not take test while studying for NCOA, full time masters program, after working 12 days in a row, and did I mention I'm a mom of 2) probably need to retake that one.
Military awards: Civ of the Year for the Air Force (FM career field)
NCO of the year for my wing (all career field)
Employee of the year for Arkansas (all career fields)
Victim advocate for the SAPR program
SAPR training facilitator
Letters of recommendations showing strong leadership skills.
No, I actually live in Arkansas.Are you in the USUHS area? I worked there (unpaid) for a little bit. DM me if you want more info
She was the one who told me it was unlikely I would receive an invite as well. I want to see the packages of those who were invited! They must be **** hot if you didn't get an invite either. I'm really sorry. I wonder why nobody posted to thegradcafe. I emailed the person she directed me to in order to ask what I can do to improve my package for next time.Aaaaaand I just called Miss Crum, who's another administrator for the PhD Programs, and I was informed (in sharp contrast to my prior post) that all invites had been extended. Obviously, I'm pretty heartbroken! My list of prospective programs is waning, as is my hope. I hope you heard better news, folks. Good luck to all.

Hey all! I'm applying for 2018 but going for the civilian track. I hear it's much more competitive than the military track, though this varies by year. I think it's important to remember it's not make or break.Hey guys! Did anyone apply for 2017 or does anyone plan on applying for 2018? I don't know how active duty members get research experience, especially since pretty much everyone is forced to do online schooling. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Heres USUHS take on research experience:
Coursework in statistics, chemistry, and biology, as well as clinical and/or research experience is encouraged.
Although grad schools really like research experience, if you note other relevant experiences (leadership, military, clinical, etc.) in the brief biosketch, this may also exemplify your personal strengths. Also, essay responses and personal statements can be worth a lot. Grad schools want you to prove that you have struggled and overcome challenges and will continue to do so with passion. USUHS seems to want applicants that are very passionate about serving and providing for service members. I would focus on this as well as strong letters of recommendation. Theres also the interview!
ALSO! Making contact/emailing with a faculty member may help you if your research interests match theirs (they will want you there!).
Best of luck!!!
Hope anyone else is applying for 2018?
Hey, I am applying for Fall 2018 as well!
I heard that all invites "should" be extended before 1 February. Is this your first time applying? Are you military?I applied as well. All I have heard is they were looking at apps last week and this week but no indication of when they are extending invites.

Nopenot yet, you?

Thank you! Civilian, no military experience but applied for the military track
