Make sure you do research about the program and what it entails as well as why do you want to do this over civilian med
I haven’t received one yet. I’ve been obsessively waiting because this is my first choice school lol. Also, I saw that last cycle they released on the same day applications were transmitted.
So they send them before your application is verified? Does that mean even if we get it before it is verified we still only have the 2 weeks to submit it?
These look exactly the same as last year and can confirm
The email i received said we have 21 days to submit... I submitted my primary 6/11 and I was surprised to already have gotten this secondary invite... but I'm also puzzled, because the school has to know that many aren't verified. I hope both of us are verified soon within the next couple of weeks!
Same here. I submitted 6/16 so you'll have to let me know when yours is verified. I was confused this morning when I received it but I guess I'm happy to get it in. Does this mean everyone received one who has applied so far probably?
Found my stupid error... the prerequisites can only be filled out once verified, but the prerequisites section of the app is separate from the other secondary app elements.
That makes more sense now
Is your Clinical LOR already sent?
Yeah. They stated in the email that they have received every part of my application. I had all of my LORs in AMCAS well before I submitted the application for verification, so I assume once I submitted my secondary they had everything.
I received that message as well when I submitted my secondary on 6/30.
USUHS website, Application Process page:
they say that they do factor it in... however they obviously will make no exceptions for people that they deem bad candidates to succeed in school. So prior service does help a bit, but will have to be accompanied by evidence of success academically.
. Its definitely worth applying
I got that. It was about 2 weeks ago though.
When did you submit your secondary? Maybe you can contact them and see if they’ll waive it?
How did they know?
You had to list medications and medical conditions on your secondary. I know they do a physical when you interview, but I’m assuming no one is at that stage since there hasn’t been any postings here.
+1 Received this morning
****, so it is time to start working out and making sure I am in shape?
😂💀 I think the physical is just a check from a DoD physician. You’ll have to meet the physical requirements of your branch though, so if you need to train for that now may be a good time.
Yes, MEPS and the DoDmrb are two different things. DoDmrb is much less intuitive and it will mimic a primary care visit in a way.
I do believe you always need to adhere to the army medical requirements. I think weight will be one of the hardest things to meet (I was in a tough situation but was able to make weight and have since committed myself to a much healthier lifestyle). Also try to avoid medicating. If you have a history of it, you would need to report but being dependent on ADD/ADHD medication specifically will make any career in the military very difficult for you. Same thing with asthma and some allergies.
What is the weight you need to make?
it is all on the army regulations and fitness requirements that they send you in the interview invite and are probably online as well
Hey there, when was your application complete last year? My application was just completed today (was unfortunately waiting on an LOR) and i'm worried i'm too late.
Wait sorry what doe +1 mean lol
+1 is a quick way of saying "this happened to me, too"
Thank you lol
I gotchu bestie
