Is it too late for three year program as well? I can't apply right at this moment because my naturalization application just got submitted..
I’m not sure how the application process works these days. Others on here have mentioned the Army and Navy reserve their 3 year scholarships for those who applied for the 4 year but weren’t selected. The Air Force offers the majority of their scholarships as 3 year. When you’re applying for a 4 year scholarship, you should be doing so the same time you’re applying to dental schools. People applying for a 3 year scholarship should start the process right as they start dental school. The application process takes months. However, until you’re a US citizen there’s not much a recruiter is going to do for you. You must be a US citizen to serve as an officer in the military.
I see. I knew that I had to be citizen to apply so that I couldn't even try for 4 year program. I'm just hoping the whole naturalization process will take less than 6 month so I can start right after my undergrad graduation - or before, hopefully.
I met a D1 in my school who is still waiting to hear back on the 3-year Army, didn't apply for the 4 year.
I am all but positive that to be an officer in the US military you must be a US citizen, but the same does not hold true for enlisted.
Google it yourself. It's on every single site listed on the first page, including USA.GOV. Though I do appreciate the lesson in googling and "reputable sources".
