Took the medical exam, and passed the physical fitness test on Dec 2. Passed my oral boards yesterday, Dec 8. Now I just have to wait on the background investigation to finish.

If you scored above a 70 on the written, they will send you a pretty comprehensive packet with all the instructions. I'm not sure if the female specs are the same as the male, but I had to do 20 pushups in 60 seconds, 25 situps in 60 seconds, and a 5 minute step test consisting of stepping up and down from a 12 inch bench to a fast cadence for 5 minutes without stopping.
