Hi all! Thanks for answering my question with care and patience.
I am a 30-yr old, background is Bachelor's in Bio with a 3.5 gpa, 34-MCAT, and pretty good experiences and LORs all-round.
Firstly, I am very interested in the Navy, and would like to be a part of the military and make it my primary career. I am a person who considers himself somewhat patriotic, and my background has shaped my values immensely towards loving this country -- even though I immigrated here -- and makes me feel like a part of it. Thus, all put-together, I would really like to be a part of our fighting forces.
Anyway, I have a couple of questions for anyone with specific experience with this sort of thing.
I am trying to sign up before it is too late for me, age-wise, so that I can pursue my dream of being a military doctor. I suppose the question of deployment has crossed my mind -- however, at this point in time, I have seen so much in my life, that it seems like a sacrifice well worth it. Not to mention that it may not even materialize.
So, my question is, if I wanted to go to the USUHS, what would be best chance to get in?
Just work on some job and apply next year with the requisite skills rounded off such as volunteering, talking to docs, etc.?
Or, sign up now for the Navy and hope they can help me get into the medical field as a physician?
Please understand that I am still new to this, and would appreciate any information. I have yet to speak to a recruiter about my aspirations.
Thank you.
