You also have to deal with the cards you are dealt. The most important thing is to get a degree, you may Need to look at different options.  Go visit schools in the South. You may like them.

This or ROTC.

Of the various services, AFROTC probably has the least amount of rigidity and what not.  FWIW, AFROTC prefers to spend their scholarship funding on Nursing students and Engineering/CS students. [/quote]

The Medical Corps of any branch isn’t very rigid - unless you want it to be (attached to Special Forces, etc.). Military doctors are doing their medical profession 95% of the time.  There’s some regular military testing, re-qualifications, and training, but it isn’t frequent. The military even has its own medical school here in Bethesda (USUHS).  Thought you aren’t limited to that medical school.  If you can get an ROTC scholarship DO IT.  You get undergrad payed for, plus a monthly stipend. Then when you graduate and commission, if you get into medical school, they will pay for that too PLUS pay you a full time active duty 2LT salary and BHA while you go to school. You continue to get promoted while in school, and will be a Captain when you graduate med school.  It would foolish to not seriously consider. [/quote]
