Hello, wanted to reach out as I have to make a decision on whether or not to accept my 3-year ROTC scholarship in the next few days. I am pre-med and have been interested in the field for some time now. Originally, I was planning on going straight to med school out of undergrad, but my pre-med classes don't line up anymore.
Also, it seems like the age of med school matriculants has been steadily increasing. I have been trying to find some prior service folks who served as officers and then entered med school with HPSP. A lot of what I've found on this forum tends to be enlisted guys, but I would be serving as an officer before going to med school. Also, how would it work if I had served for 4 years after commissioning, as my MCAT would be invalidated? Would I have to take another year off for a post-bacc program and do the pre-med requirements again? Looking for any and all advice here, thanks!
