Hey everyone! I wanted to open up a thread for applicants to the EMDP2 program for FY2023. I'm a applicant from last year, made interviews but was a non-select at the end of the day. I've gone through the entire process so I can answer quite a few questions if anyone has any. Please feel free to use this to reach out to others to start your own DM's. I've met some pretty awesome people through this this forum, one of which is starting EMDP2 this year.
As far as I can tell, the application cycle for 2023 is near identical to last year. They have A LOT more information immediately put out as far as the putting together the application.
Some quick things I learned last year that can clear up some minor questions:
-The application is due by 30 Sep 2022, however if you submit it early, you may be conducting your interviews early.
-They want ALL your college official transcripts. I had 1 class from a random university I took in high school that I received credit for and they wanted that official transcript as well. Send your official transcripts ASAP so it's one less thing to worry about.
-Don't hesitate to email them questions, they are very helpful!
-If you're picked up for an interview, start the medical portion ASAP, like the day you receive you are up for an interview. They go through your records as if you're joining the military for the first time.
-With this, if you have anything on records such as back pain, eyes, shoulder pain, stuff like that, they'll probably have you go through a waiver. It's different than most waivers, as the USUHS office are the waiver authority. You write them a memo stating why you're still fit. This is case by case basis obviously, but it's a nice heads up
-Timeline: 30 Sep 2022 is the deadline for apps. I was told I was up for interviews the third week of October. I did my 2 interviews on Nov 13th, and Nov 17th. They let me schedule the date/time of my interview within a 3 week time span so that was nice, considering if you're going to be deploying during that time frame. Official Results were done by email the second week of Feb 2022.
All of this information is some basic stuff from last cycle. This cycle could be completely different, but I don't feel like it will be.
For my info, I'm AD Navy, in Hawaii currently transitioning to shore command beginning of 2023. Good luck to everyone!
