Hello all,
I have spent the last 7 years as an active duty naval officer and will be applying to med school this cycle. I will be finishing my last prerequisite and MCAT this August and then applying... I realize this will be later than desired, but am pretty set on applying this summer.
I had been expecting to be in the states for the next year and be available/flexible for any interviews I receive, though I just found out that I will be deploying (unexpectedly) late this November and returning in May. My deployment dates are as sure a thing as the military can possibly give, so matriculating next year wouldn't be a problem, but I am now really worried about being able to interview, especially given the fact I will be applying kind of late.
Have any of you been in a similar situation? Have you and/or a colleague been given the opportunity to interview via some kind of VTC or Skype? I'll have access to a good internet connection while deployed (not on a ship). I have a relatively competitive application, expect to do well on the MCAT, and would hate to wait a full year because of this.
Thanks for the help!
