This thread is super early but I want to create a spot for USAGPAN 2021 applicants to share our journey! I’m mostly posting this thread now to spread the word about Iowa Central Community College’s Intro to Organic and Biochem online course - CHM 130. This option was a lifesaver (read: time and money saver) for me and I have to pay it forward. I checked with the Baylor liaison and the course fulfills the chemistry requirement. The only prerequisite is Intro to Chemistry I. I hope this helps someone and I’m looking forward to the upcoming application year!

Civilian applicant from Baltimore, MD. Application is submitted, just awaiting my GRE scores and then my Phase II interview.
After COVID cancelled my test dates twice, finally just decided to take it at home on July 1st. Wish me luck!
Super excited for the possibility to be future classmates. We got this ?
Hi! How was it? I'm sure you nailed it!!
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give an update! I was FINALLY able to get my shadow experience (found a dude who's friends with a dude who knows the dude I needed to talk to that was willing to be a dude for me). Retook my GRE to get an overall 310 with 4.5 in writing (1st time didn't finish second essay). Interview went very well -- it lasted about 30 min. and got a "highly recommend" evaluation! Is anyone aware of the different levels of "recommend" there are, or has anyone heard different? I guess my biggest concern is I wasn't able to schedule my CCRN until Sep. 1, so I'm gonna have to say "no" on the Baylor application :( My GPA is strong, so hopefully I'll be good!
I counted 85 recipients on the reminder email for the application deadline from LTC Kertes -- best of luck to everyone on this forum!

Fortunately, since I am already commissioned in the Reserve I just needed to provide my PHA from last year, so no MEPS for me :)

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your reply. Did you see my response above for your paperwork issues? Was that at all helpful? That’s frustrating to hear you are getting the runaround... I don’t see why your agency would have a problem verifying hours worked, or why your most recent manager/educator wouldn’t sign off on that list of basic skills! Please keep us posted, and I will be sure to do the same.
