Hello
First timer and thanks for any input. I’m looking to apply this upcoming cycle and want to ensure I have put myself in the right position. I am a 33 year old active duty military that unfortunately has had the pleasure of fixing the mistakes of 21 year old me over the last few years. Long story short had no idea I would want to pursue medicine at 21, was a turd, joined the Army, back to school, want to pursue medicine full time.
