Hello! I would like to know what my chances are for the 4-year Health Profession Scholarship Program (HPSP) for both the Army and Navy, considering that I have just contacted a recruiter today. I hope to have everything submitted by the end of November.
I am in my senior year at university and submitted my dental school apps in August.
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 27/27/21/30/none
sGPA: 3.99 | oGPA: 3.99
Shadowing: ~100 hours at a GP
Research: Began earlier this Spring in anthropology, left that lab after 1 semester and have joined a new lab in dental implantology. Have submitted an abstract for a national conference.
Volunteer: Dental outreach trip to the Dominican Republic for 2 weeks (approx 80 hrs). Nothing else considerable.
Other extracurriculars: Leadership in Pre-Dental Club, TA for organic chemistry for 2.5 years.
LoR: Fairly strong from 3 science professors and 1 humanities professor. No letter from a dentist or someone in the armed forces.
Any relation with Army/Navy: None. I do not have family in the armed forces, nor do I know anyone personally.
How competitive am I for the program as someone who is just beginning the application process? Does anyone have tips regarding the application process/working with a recruiter? I appreciate any feedback offered.
