I can't believe its been a year already. If you're anything like I was, you are going nuts filling out secondaries (love to get 'em, but hate to fill 'em out), your counting every day until you finally KNOW you're going to be a doc, and scared you might miss something important. Relax. You read it everywhere on this board, but you really need to just relax. On to usefull info...
As an example time table, my AMCAS file was verified on sept 22, I recieved my secondary on sept 22, my file was complete oct 20 (stupid LORs), recieved an interview invite on nov 3, and interviewed on Dec 4th, accepted Jan 14th.
That means those of you thinking about applying, you still have time. For those of you waiting for interviews, USUHS interviews only on Thursdays (I don't know why) starting 9/23 and running until January I believe.
On your interview day, you will have about 15-25 other interviewees with you. And you'll do the stuff Evines said throughout the day. I'll add that you will have a brief tour of the school from one of the students, and you should feel free to ask questions. In fact, you'll see a ton of students throughout the day, and you should feel free to ask us anything. Everyone around here is really nice and friendly so use us to get to know the school and get a feel for what it would be like for you next year. Something different than other med schools I interviewed at is you won't get a tour of the hospital. Most schools will give you a tour of the hospital when you go because that will be where you do your 3rd and 4th year rotations. At USUHS, you will do your rotations and military hospitals throughout the country (everywhere from D.C. to Texas to Hawaii), so a tour of one Naval hospital would not be an indicative example.
For the interview, relax. It'll be about 15-20 minutes of someone just trying to understand who you are and why you want to come here. You'll get the basic questions, but you'll also get why do you want to be at USUHS/join the military, do you know what you're getting into, etc. On that note, realize that applying to USUHS is applying to become a military medical officer - in that order. Be able to explain why you want to become a military medical officer.
For those of you interested in applying, here's some info you may want to know:
If you attend USUHS, you learn all the other stuff other MD's learn plus some military medicine/history. Your first two summers will be doing military things (OBC, COT, active duty something). You wear a uniform to class every day. There are physical requirements. Most lectures are optional. You recieve notes for every class, and all of your books are free (except review books like BRS, etc.). Tuition is free. You will spend 4 years at med school, x years in residency, plus 7 years on active duty. You will not be shipped anywhere during med school, you will likely be able to go straight to residency, and when you are done you will be shipped off to a military hospital (or tent) depending on what you want to do and what the military needs. As a single student, you will make roughly $42,000/yr and married will make roughly $45,000. Medical and dental are free for you and cheap for your family. You will be in the military for a long time.
These are just somethings that I hope are helpful to people thinking about coming here. Don't get too caught up on the money since the difference between civilian and military pay basically washes out in the end. Know what you're getting in to, read these boards, and seach the internet. USUHS is a great place. I feel blessed to be able to go to school here, but it's not for everyone. I know this is practically a book, but I hope this helps someone.
