I applied. I'm only in my P2 year, but my recruiter told me to apply anyway. Not exactly sure how it's going to work out with the year difference.
I'm in my P2 year as well! Yeah, my recruiter said it wasn't a problem, but I'm not exactly sure how it'll work. I was assuming if you're selected you'd get the scholarship for both P3 and P4 year. Have you heard anything about when we'll be notified?

They had said it was estimated around October 6th, but from looking at old posts on here, it's usually about a week to 2 weeks after the estimated time. So hopefully I hear in the next week! Mine was strange because the normal HPSP pharmacy recruiter went on maternity leave so I had to work with a nursing recruiter and he said our timing is way different than theirs.
I'll post on here whenever I find out
2017 Air force pharmacy HPSP, Has anyone heard back about results yet???
I know!!! They are really making us wait
I will post in here when I find out, hopefully this week. Good luck!
Hey guys! I’ve also applied this year, I’m currently a P3 but I started my application as a P2. I feel like I’ve been waiting an eternity anybody else feel that way? Good luck to everyone!
Nothing yet here. I was told October 6th was the estimated date, so that means I'm three days away from stressing for an entire month! Hopefully we all hear back soon! Good luck!
Does anyone know how many spots the AF had this year for pharmacists HPSP?
I was told 20 by my recruiter (mixed between 1 and 2 year scholarships)

Hopefully this is the week. Has to be right? haha
I think it will be tomorrow (11/7)... you heard it here first.. (being optimistic)
Counting on you to be right!!
Oh god now I’m nervous for tomorrow... 🙁 lol
I literally got a phone call to "update me that they had not heard anything yet". I feel like it was a cruel joke haha
Another week with no news. Maybe next week lol
Logically, it has to be next week. thanksgiving would just be too far
I definitely agree if it isn’t next week then I don’t see them making the announcement till after thanksgiving...
It will be next week!
I received an email from my recruiter stating "should be getting results soon. No explanation or details on the word soon." Guys it will probably be early december if I had to guess. I got very excited and then super depressed after I saw that email lol.
really testing our patience here. I am trying to focus on school but cant haha

Nothing yet! :/
Will this be the week????????
Let me ask my magic 8 ball.... Unlikely... My sources say no... Don’t count on it... Yes!
(If at first you don’t succeed, ask ask again)
To my knowledge the reasons you put into your question are worked out during the first few weeks of your application where they do a background check and medical screening to determine your eligibility to serve in the Air Force. After that applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and based on the competitiveness of your gpa, letters of recommendation, essay and recommendation from the pharmacist that interviewed you they award the scholarship. BUT all of that depends on also the number of available scholarships. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but that’s the things I’ve heard from my health professions recruiter.

Anyone else get an email saying to stay motivated and no news at this point is still good news? 😡
I don't think we will ever find out haha
Just got another update from my recruiter. He's been notified that the board should be turning in applications by December 15th and that results could take a few days after that to be released. Maybe we will hear back within the next couple of weeks!

The board turns in application? I thought they were the ones that reviewed and decided? Who are they turning them into I’m curious now lol
I'm assuming it means the board submits the selected applications? I don't know exactly how the process works haha. He did say that the Air Force Personnel Center takes some time to match assignments in their system, so that's why it'll most likely take a few days for the results to come out after the applications are turned in.
I would imagine they submit the selections and go down the list. After the wait there may be initial selectees who are no longer interested, and the alternates would need to be notified? ♂️
I am a very POSITIVE person but I think we are all going to get in! If we all want it this bad.... (and stress about it this much haha) and I am sure we all have great credentials, then I think we will all get in 🙂

Guess we've already been waiting this long..so we can wait a bit longer!
Do any of you know when applicants who are selected usually go to COT? I know it's typically in the summer, but I wasn't sure whether you go the summer after you're selected or after you graduate.

Cot is done after you graduate.
Its only during school for docs.
Its only during school for docs.
My recruiter updated me yesterday that they will release the results on friday (12/22) but I am sure it goes along with the comment above... probably will take some time after that
Selected! 2 year!! Congrats to everyone else when you finally hear!
