I would say, once you've raised your hand and sworn the oath, then it is too late.
I agree with the above statement. Much to late for second thoughts once the oath has been taken.

Does anyone know when USUHS started putting people on waitlist? And when is their last interview date? From this thread, seems like the waitlist started for those who interviewed as early as Jan 10. Thanks.
Based on earlier posts in this thread, I believe I saw some AF applicants waitlisted on Nov. 29th and Army applicants waitlisted on Dec. 6th. Not sure when the first Navy folks were waitlisted. I tried to ask the admissions people that when I called, but I am not sure my question was very clear, because I didn't get an answer.

There's a class of 2012 group on Facebook if you're really gung-ho.
It probably should be, but there were rumors that an SDN user that would have been USUHS class of 2009 backed out of officer training partway through and since he hadn't started school, he avoided incurring a military commitment. I think the no-joke line is matriculation and you'd probably have to fight to get out after you've signed anything.
Be sure you want to come here before you do. 10 years (3 years residency + 7 year committment) is serious!

How many people are in that group? I don't have facebook, but just trying to get an idea of how many people are intending on staying in the class (rather than those that are undecided about usuhs or holding their seat as a backup plan till May).
Can someone list out the steps of the process from receiving the letter of unconditional acceptance to when school starts this fall at USU? (at what point is the oath taken? comm. paper work? OBLC?) And if you still have to decide between USU and civilian, at what point in the process are you bound to the military's service agreements?
You don't want to go to USUHS, I hear your civilian school is much better. Plus, you don't want to owe your life to the military, get deployed, have little say on your medical specialty, have nurses as your supervisors, etc, etc, etc.
Has anybody waitlisted for 2008 been accepted off the waitlist yet?
I've already posted this a few times but I will again to give you something positive: I interviewed Dec 6, was waitlisted in early February, and then was accepted the very end of February. I've recently received my unconditional as well.
I was thinking it wouldn't be til April or May if it happened, but it was a nice early surprise; I definitely wasn't expecting the call that I received that day. So they may be steadily calling people and SDN is a smaller pool when it comes to USUHS. Hope you get some good news soon!
anyone know how the alternate list works? pretty dejected

This is my second year applying. I was on the waitlist last year and ended up being passed by. I did however gain a lot of knowledge on how it works.
Wait list gets picked first then to the alternate list. If you are on the wait list you MUST be medically qualified BEFORE you can be pulled off and offered an acceptance. That means people high on the wait list can be passed bye by those lower as long as the lower candidate is medically qualified.
I would love to come to USUHS, but I am just now getting my physical done due to some philandering by DoDMERB. Anyhow, I did get into another school so I have a back up if USUHS doesn't pan out.
Best of luck those still waiting to find out...it is agonizing
Does anyone know how what branch you're on the waitlist for affects when and if you will get an acceptance?
Who else is on the waitlist boat and for what branch?
So I haven't been active in posting anything, but have really appreciated this forum while on the waitlist, so I thought I'd give you all some hope!
I just got accepted off the Air Force waitlist yesterday. I interviewed 13 Dec in case you care. Good luck to you all, and hang in there, I'm sure there will be A LOT of movement from here till 15 May!

I received a phone call this afternoon from the Admissions Office and was offered unconditional acceptance for the Army. My interview was Jan 10th and I have been on the waitlist for a month. I wish the best to all of you waiting and hope I will see you soon.
Still no word for me on a February 14th interview (Navy preference). I have seen one person wait list accepted from my interview date, but I am still waiting. I called on April 11th to the admission office and the lady said one more week. However, tomorrow will be 2 weeks. I am patiently waiting.
I am already getting my references together for next year, just in case. This year, my applications did not get in until really late and USUHS is my only hope for 2008.
Keeping my fingers crossed...
After weeks of sweating if out on the waitlist, I recieved a call this morning informing me that I have been accepted (Navy) off the waitlist. See ya in August!!!!
