TU RN and Bhebe, Thanks for taking the time to reach out to the forum during what I am sure is an intense schedule. I have a couple questions. I am a direct commission and have relative timeline that starts with orders to report to Fort Sam at some point in January. Any living recommendations as far as apartment complexes, neighborhoods, etc? Do you recommend off base or on base ? Between DCC and BOLC and the start of the program, what goes on? From the timeline I got, there is a lot of time in between. I am moving from New York, did anyone travel from a distance? How was the moving process and what was the mode of transportation? Do you drive or are you flown in? What is the most unexpected thing about army life or being an SRNA that you could warn the incoming class about? How have you been impacted financially? Does salary seem sufficient to live comfortably and get the bills paid? Any advice in this aspect? How is the faculty? Most important piece of advice coming in? Feel free to PM me and thanks for your time. Keep killing phase I!

Tridel, You can most likely modify that schedule for 2021. I started everything for the 2020 application (baylor/army direct accession applications, scheduled and took the GRE, MEPS) in January of 2019. If you start soon and get ORGO completed you can almost definitely apply for the 2021 cohort. Reach out to a recruiter sooner than later and they will get you started and give you a good timeline. Only thing I can see potentially being a problem is not having the full year of ICU experience BUT you will have completed that by the time school starts so that shouldn't be a problem. Good luck

Accepted by Baylor! SO pumped. Now we wait for army boards... Good luck to all who are applying

I believe Baylor and the Army board communicate directly throughout selection or are possibly the same team. So if you are ultimately accepted by Baylor, as long as you meet the requirements for the Army you should be good to go. Thats my understanding of it.

Whats up all, Just finished up my Phase 2 interview last week at Fort Bragg NC. Im from NY so they flew me out, paid for the hotel on base and for taxis, and gave me a food stipend for the trip. From what I heard something like 120 people are applying this year and I was told this was one of the most competitive years. Could be true and just no one uses this forum, or could be a hoax haha. Hoping to hear back at a reasonable time for admissions. MEPS is done, Baylor app is all set to go. Anyone know the time frame for hearing back from admissions?
