I am an M4 Navy HPSP, my current plan is to rank FTIS first (I will rotate at NMCSD and NMCP this fall which should give me a better idea). I've heard EM is looking even more competitive this year, which is already working against my favor. So, before spending a ton of money/time applying to...

Im debating HPSP. I definitely want to specialize, orthodontics if I have the stats. Do you think HPSP would give me a better chance at getting an orthodontic residency? Could I apply to the military residencies and "normal" residencies when that time comes around? Thanks in advance.
