Figured I would start a thread for this years applicants. Who else has applied/ is applying? Anyone with good news yet?
I had everything ready in September. My recruiter said my packet was eligible for the October boards and he notified me recently that I received the 4 year scholarship, contingent on being accepted to dental school. I'm really excited, but I've never heard of the Army reviewing the 4 year packets before December. Has anyone had a similar experience?
You applied for the 4 year HPSP and you already heard back? I was ready for the October board (I have over 3.5 and 19 AA) too but then my recruiter told me that mine will be reviewed on Dec 10th b/c of the gov't shutdown. He also told me that they pushed all the board dates back for all professions except medical to december and that december 10th is the first board meeting....did he lie to me????
Yes, I applied for the 4 year. My recruiter made sure that my packet (including LORS) was ready at the end of September so he could send it out. I emailed him a few times during October to check on things, particularly during the shutdown. He told me that the boards were only delayed by one week, and when I emailed him in early November, he informed me that I received the scholarship. I even called to confirm it and he informed me that it was the 4 year scholarship.
I honestly couldn't tell you if you were lied to. Did you have everything completed by the end of September (including MEPS)? Did your recruiter send in your packet in early October (before the shutdown)? Maybe someone else can shed some light on the board dates...
does anyone know if you are required to have a bachelor's degree in order for your application to be submitted? my recruiter said she can't submit my app before I get my degree... I finished all the paperwork and MEPS as well.
I already got accepted to 3 schools.

Do any of you guys have hard information on # of Army HPSP scholarships that will be awarded for entering class of 2014? And any dates/timeslines that your recruiters told you as far as being safe to get the scholarship? (for Navy apparently you are pretty safe getting in as long as you make the February board but I know Army usually has more scholarships) I only applied Navy but the recruiter makes me a bit nervous as the first submission was kicked back so want to prepare to also apply to Army if the next one goes bad too. I already have MEPS done, LORs, essays and everything so I'd probably just need to fill out similar forms. Thanks.
Hey does anyone know how long it takes to hear back from boards. I read someone mentioned 2 - 3 weeks. I also hear 1 week. My application went to boards yesterday (1/28) my recruiter was excited as my application said "Pending" meaning they are waiting to publish the results. Does anyone have ideas who have received the scholarship?
anyone knows how many scholarships are left for the march board?
OML= Order of Merit listI don't know yet. I haven't heard from my recruiter. OML?
My recruiter told me that from now on, everyone will be on the alternate list.
Just found out I am also on the OML. Seems like all 3 applicants from my recruiter's station were placed there. Huge disappointment, but it might be for the best in the long run. Stats: 3.74 overall GPA with 3.92 for science GPA. DAT: AA of 22 with tons of EC and good LORs. I am just thankful I got into a good state school instead of a private one.
Wow, my stats are definitely lower than yours in both regards so now I'm really worried.
If we were all in the same board 1/28, how are we finding out at different times? Are we processed in smaller groups or something? I asked my recruiter yesterday if he had heard anything and he said nothing yet.
Just got the call from my recruiter after sending him a message earlier today and got the scholarship! Official paperwork comes in next week, that's why there's been a delay for anyone waiting.
So who's boarding on Wednesday?!
Got the result today.. ORDER OF MERIT LIST...
FML.
=( it's unfortunate. Luckily for you, the rank you are on the OML is purely based on your stat rather than when you submitted your application.
Yeah, I am not really counting on it.... any idea how many people are on the list?
No idea. From what my recruiter told me the list is pretty expansive (this was after Jan. board). He also told me he can't tell me my rank on the list...for some reason or another...
i heard there are a total of 17 people on the OML..
Got a call from my recruiter today and he said he received an email saying that I am in the top 5 of the OML and I could be pulled off from the list at any time....
So if you have to choose between HSCP and Army, what's your preference?
