Can anyone with experience in admin/ veterans' law/ admissions help me out with the following scenario?
I intend to join the military reserves after applying to medical school. For reasons I will not get into on this forum, this is non-negotiable. Submitting my application prior to swearing in means I will check "civilian" on the primary app and not require the letter of approval from the military to AAMC. AAMC has clarified with me via email that my joining would not require me updating my primary application.
The plan is as follows:
1. Apply as a civilian
2. Swear into the reserves
3. interview, and get my acceptance to US MD school
4. Defer acceptance for military service (active duty training) in accordance with "institutional readmission" section 1091c of title 20 of the United States Code. (essentially USERRA for students).
My question is if anyone here has experience with the institutional readmission law, and how it worked in each scenario? Obviously I do not think my medical school would be happy to hear about my decision, but what are the chances they would try to fight me on this/ attempt to withdraw acceptance?
A law review for institutional readmission outlining a nearly identical scenario can be found here:https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.roa.org/resource/resmgr/lawreviews/2023/23062-lr.pdf
