Has anyone that's going to the 10/10 interview heard from the security office or from a student host yet? Thank you
Govt shutdown is affecting this school. Anyone else in contact with the admissions office?

The security office is definitely furloughed right now, and the current students are in charge of volunteering to host prospective students. Since our first final exam is on the 11th, I'll bet many students don't want to manage being a host that week.

Thanks. I looked at the class schedule so that's kinda what I figured would happen. So if security doesn't contact me I would just bring the paperwork as normal or is there something else the tell you/ask for? Good luck on your test!

My secondary is completed on 09/10. It will be officially 4 weeks on 10/07, which they said will only take 3-4 weeks to process.
Should I email them or call them??
Thank you so much!!!
who is "they" ..... if it only takes 3-4 weeks to process, for SURE i have been rejected. I have been complete since 7/3. I sent an email about a month ago asking if my app was under review and they said it was.
Anyone complete since early July still waiting?

What is the admission process?
The USU Admissions Committee works on a "rolling" admissions basis. This means that an applicant's file is advanced onto the next phase as soon as the previous phase is completed.
The process begins with an application to AMCAS. USU advises applicants to apply in June, prior to the year of matriculation. Within 7 days of submitting the AMCAS application, supplemental materials are emailed to the applicant.
As soon as the forms are returned and the letters of recommendation are received, the file is sent to the Committee to make a decision regarding an invitation to interview. This review usually takes three to four weeks.
All interviews are conducted at USU. Once the interview is completed, the file is sent to the Committee again to make a recommendation for acceptance. If recommended and concurred in by the Dean of the School of Medicine, the applicant is offered a conditional acceptance. This means that the person holds a place in the class but will not receive commissioning papers or official orders until the physical exam and security check are cleared and the acceptance form is returned. Once the physical and security checks are cleared, the applicant is offered an unconditional acceptance. Commissioning papers and orders are then processed.
The Committee receives many files and each one is carefully reviewed. Please be patient while awaiting a response.

Don't lose hope. Until you've actually been notified that you're rejected, don't assume you're rejected. I submitted my secondary to USU last year on June 29 (I remember because it was so close to my birthday!). I didn't hear back from them until 4 days before the last interview date (at the end of February). I think I had been stuck on a semi-waitlist pile, and someone probably dropped an interview seat, so I was called up. I was sure I had been rejected, I mean, June to February is ridiculous for a school that's so strongly rolling admissions, but I clearly wasn't since I'm now an MS1.
What I'm saying is it may not happen, but don't assume that it definitely won't happen. Keep your chin up, and stay positive. You never know.
ii today for 11/21!!! Has anyone tried the Student Host Program??

Can anyone comment on the cost and benefit sheet that was distributed during the interview process? One of their benefits was higher pay during residency where they said it ranged from 80-100k whereas civilian residents' salary ranged from 50-55k.
Everywhere I look online says that military residents make 65k at most. I know going to USUHS shouldn't be a choice made because of the money, but if they are trying to sell the school with that as a benefit where are they getting their facts?

It depends a lot on where you live and if you have dependents. But basically, 242 (BAS) + 5116 (Base pay for O-3 w/ 4 years) + about 1800 for BAH (varies by where you live and if married/have kids) = about 7200 per month is around 82000 per year.
You can search for military pay charts to check it out for yourself.
Actually, our base pay is 3835 - it's O3 over 0, not O3 over 4 years. The clock resets when you graduate. Otherwise, that's accurate.
Do you get the increase to O-1 with two years while at school?
The increase to O2 you mean? No, I didn't. They keep talking about doing that, though it sounds more promising lately.
Got the acceptance call about an hour ago. So stoked about my first acceptance! I ranked Army-5, AF-4, and Navy-4. They gave me Navy.
Nice dude! I figured they would be starting tomorrow, based on what I saw in last year's thread.
Thanks, me too. I was not expecting anything until tomorrow. They also called back and said they made a mistake. They thought I preferred Navy, so that's why they gave me that spot. I actually got an Army sport.
If you have time... I have a couple questions: When did you interview? Are you currently enrolled in classes?
Thanks. And congratulations!
Kind of surprised they called a day earlier than they said they would and you were thre only acceptance on sdn today. Who called you for the acceptance?
My handler, Ms. Romero. And then Dr. Siegel called me about 10 minutes later to clear up the Navy / Army mix up. I'm as surprised as you.
That's awesome congrats on the acceptance.

No I meant the increase in base pay after you hit two years as on O-1. There's supposed to be one after three years too. Not a big deal for me. I'd go there either way. I just find it interesting that if you are considered active duty while going to school, I would have expected that time to count toward pay.
Ah, yes your TIS will increase to 3 years and then reset when you graduate (you won't quite make 4 years, I was about a month short). It has to do with the fact that those years don't count towards your 20 years for retirement.
I received an acceptance as well from ms Romero and was followed up by the same doctor.
Congrats on the acceptance. I interview on 10/24. Very excited for this opportunity as usuhs is one of my top schools as well. I have navy officer friends who told me how physical fitness was somewhat of a joke for the doctor candidates and I am also excited to prove them all wrong .
Which hotels allowed you to cancel 2 days in advance? The hotels I called did not want me to use them as a backup plan to the host program and said that is not a valid reason for cancellation, hence I did not book my hotels yet. I can see their point though.
For all you 10/24 interviewers, best of luck and I hope to meet you all soon!
