Well, it's complicated.
The spot up for grabs at the GMESB is for a 2016 start, in a subspecialty that had its nationwide civilian match five months ago. Military applicants without a 2016 pre-select from the 2014 GMESB were ineligible for that match.
Ideally, future GMESBs will be offering pre-selects so that applicants can have FTOS approval in hand in time to enter the match. I'm told this is the plan for the 2016 board and beyond.
Whoever gets the nod from the GMESB this year will need to find a position outside the match fairly quickly in order to accept it.
I have an offer on the table from a program I'd be delighted to attend, but of course there isn't (and can't be) a signed contract prior to the GMESB giving me the select. So while I like my odds (if selected) there are no guarantees. I have a couple other programs in mind that reportedly have room for an extra (.mil funded) fellow, if the first falls through.
I'm hopeful, but if a 2016 start doesn't work out the next likely window will be a 2018 preselect from the 2016 board.
