Hey all,
I have a couple of questions regarding the HPSP. I was accepted into dental school this year, class 0f 2014. I have always wanted to do the military route, however I was unaware I could start the application before being accepted. Anyways, I just started the HPSP for the army. I do not think I have a chance to get the 4 year as it is so late, any thoughts on this? My stats are not great, DAT 19/21/20, Gpa 3.4, sGPA 3.3. So not chance for the USAF.
I realize it would be a long shot to get the 4 year. So my next question is about reapplying for the HSPS after my first year of dental school. I screwed around a lot during my undergrad, resulting in the low GPA. I plan on stepping it up in dental school. So if I reapply with above a 3.5 in dental school would I be able to apply for the USAF HPSP, or are my undergrad still taken into consideration? Would my overall chances increase if I got the application in early (this fall)?
It's a toss up for me between the Army and Air Force, I think I would be happy in either branch.
Thanks for the input.
