Using the AF to get into Med school...

I suspect the best way to get the Air Force to pay for medical school is to
attend the Air Force Academey and do very, very well academically and in the
military training. Then get selected to go to med. school as graduated
work. Second best is to go thru ROTC get a schorarship and excell
academically. Again get admitted to a med school as a graduate program by
the AF. I never ever heard of anyone, with or without college going through
BAsic as an enlisted person getting selected for medical school. Don't
believe it if a recruiter tells you it can be done. See a medical
specialities recruiter, not the Joe Blow guy down the street. There might
be special programs, but they have special recruiting teams for them.

Is it almost guaranteed if you want to use the air force to get into
med. school and to pay for it?

As long as you can make it through basic training?

How exactly does that work? Basic training? AIT? Why AIT when they
just pay your tuition for your choice of university?

I hear you owe the air force a year for every year you were in med.
school.

Is it really impossible to get into med. school to be a doctor without
the aid of the armed services? What if you avoid the top notch
schools in California, Massachusetts, New York and Florida? Is it
still not practical?

I have a cousin who is now a doctor and she had to go to the Caribbean
to find a college that would accept her and this was over 5 years ago.
Maybe things are changed since then?
