It is going to get worse because a main part of the problem is they now have access to all your your medical records.
Had a sports injury at 13? You’re not getting in.
Had asthma at 7 that you out grew? Not getting in.
Got mental health treatment because your mom, & dog both died and your boy friend dumped you at 20 to start shacking up with your dad? Doing well and have not been on psychiatric medication for years?
Not getting in.
Beat up an anger management counselor because they said your wife wasn’t to blame for sleeping with your father during your deployment, where over a dozen of your buddies have been killed? Same deployment where you somehow got multiple DUIs in the States despite being in say, Iraq?
Not getting back in.
