i've been thinking about doing the army hpsp program but i'm not really quite sure what to do...
first of all, i'm female and it kind of scares my family that i would be going into the army even though i'd be in medical school and not at war. my mom thinks it would be great but everyone else is so worried about the whole thing.
secondly, my boyfriend is going into the navy and i wonder if that would be a problem if we wind up together in the long run.
my last concern is if i should try to go after the scholarship because even though i have a good gpa (3.65), my mcat was only a 23. i'm retaking the mcat, but i don't know how much better i'll do.
if i decide to this, i would have to contact somebody pretty soon. i think it sounds fabulous... i mean, i'd love to graduate from medical school without any debt, plus i'd be getting amazing experience and great residency spots and everything. i can't find anything bad about the program other than that you owe them 4 years after you graduate, but i think that would be a good experience anyway.
so i'm just curious if anyone has any opinions or suggestions about this possibility. thanks 🙂
