I am saying that.  The reason is because I've heard from a well reputed source that the academy is not the place to go to become a doctor.  This came from an admissions book.  The academy is the best place for people that want to become pilots.  The academy is a very challenging place for only the most motivated individuals.  There are much easier and possibly more rewarding routes to becoming a doctor.  However, if you really want to become an officer in the Air Force then by all means attempt to gain an appointment.
