Your chances at med school after USNA are slim. Like Whistlepig said, there’s only a few slots for it AND you have to be an academic superstar to get one. USNA is in business to produce line officers (ship drivers, etc) so producing anything else isn’t a priority. That said, if you’re willing to delay your dream of going to med school a few years, I’ve known a lot of people who have gone into the medical community after their sea duty. If you can wait to start med school 4 or 5 years after you graduate, then this might be the best bet for you.
