Hey, I'm an accepted student too and I got connected to a current student associated with my branch. Did a current student not reach out to u?

Unfortunately no. I think my acceptance email mentioned I would, but I never received any communication. I think I will reach out to my admissions councelor.

Hey guys! do any of you (current or incoming students) have suggestions for housing in Bethesda area? and how incoming students go about finding housemates?
Hey! I have this is well...do believe it is normal. Looks like all post-II communication is via email. You can submit updates via your admissions counselor as well since the portal is closed.
hey! fellow incoming student here— from what I’ve heard from current students, it sounds like some people meet their room/housemates during training. Common places to live are Rockville, North Bethesda, and northern VA (mostly families). Admissions suggested asking our student hosts for housing recs too!

No.
Unfortunately didn't get the II but am at NIH (across the street) for a postbac, check out the apartments on Battery Lane in Bethesda if you want to be able to walk to campus

Is there typically a date this school sees a lot of movement for the waitlist?

wondering when accepted (unconditional) students may receive more information regarding commissioning instructions/next steps - any insight appreciated - thanks 🙂
Someone from USU called me on the phone, I think yesterday, to say “paperwork and information is coming to you soon”. I actually withdrew my A, but hopefully that means they’re getting the ball rolling for everyone with unconditional A!

Spoke to someone that said information should come out sometime this week or next week. Second Look normally takes place in the last two weeks of April.
Hey guys! Interviewed 1/8. Conditional acceptance 3/7 army. Medically qualified and turned in security forms early January. How long did it take you guys to hear back about the unconditional? I called Mr. Carrington about security clearance and it was confusing. Something about we were tested for interim and a more formal clearance will happen after we enroll? Just curious about people who went through this already earlier this cycle!
Hey I pm'ed you back about this...but based on this thread and previous ones it seems to take anywhere from 1-3ish weeks with variance on a case-by-case schedule.

Got waitlisted just before noon, Army applicant. Interviewed middle December. I'm a little unclear on if I was medically cleared. When I talked to COL Holt in person she said that they could not give me an admissions decision until I was medically cleared. Anyone have experience with this?
If you go to your dodmets account, it should say if your qualified or if you need remedials

I know that last year there was a date starting in March (cannot remember the exact date) where you could not be accepted until you had been medically cleared. Maybe that is what she is referring to?

During the post-interview visit yesterday Dr. Holt said today (March 15th) was the day they were planning to have most of the stuff on their end wrapped up and I believe she said it included the cut off you are referring to.

Any updates for prior service applicants? I interviewed November, but got delayed due to my LOA taking forever to get approved. I submitted the approved LOA as of the beginning of March. I haven't heard anything back from USUHS regarding a final decision or status. Is it over for my application?

Hey Everyone! I am a current fourth year looking for someone (or two people) to rent out my furnished 2 bed 2 bath 12 min north of the hospital. If you’re interested let me know and congrats to everyone applying/waitlisted/accepted!
Have you been waitlisted yet? Might be worth it to follow up with admissions at this point if not. If you have been waitlisted, most movement happens in April/May
MS1 who is a frequent student host. The school tries to send out hosts before you interview, but can't get full coverage so not everybody gets one. They're just another resource to ask questions about the school in a low-stakes environment.
A note to those on the waitlist:
Ideally, this has already been explained to you, but the USUHS waitlist is a bit different than a civilian Medical School. USUHS is only allocated a certain number of spots by the DoD every year (170ish), and CANNOT exceed that number, no matter what. Therefore, the school only floats that number of acceptances at a time and waitlists all other competitive applicants. This differs from your civilian med schools which float ~250 A's (varies). This means that you're more likely to get off the waitlist here than at other schools. I did in late April, and many of my classmates had a similar experience.

Hi! Thanks for this info. Can I ask what branch you are? I am hopeful for the waitlist, but worried because I have heard that AF movement isn't typically until June. I am ROTC so my service commitment is on delay while I wait to hear from the waitlist, so just trying to gauge a timeline

Received an A (Navy) off the waitlist, but have decided to withdraw. Good luck to everyone on the waitlist!
Congrats! Hopefully some of us other waitlister's will start to here some good news soon. Goodluck with everything in your other program!

Thank you for serving your country by opening up a Navy spot for us lol
Admissions will likely give you feedback on your application if you ask for it! If you plan to reapply next cycle, this is an excellent idea.

If i get an acceptance within the next 2 weeks, I will buy every acceptance in this thread's breakfast on the day of orientation (yes I will pay for all of it) at the USU cafe or at any cafe/coffee shop on base at NSA Bethesda (I am desperate and want to go to USUHS this year).
Mark my words.... Hold me accountable...
