I will be attending my first year of dental school in July and was interested in applying for the 3 yr HPSP.
I recently contacted an army HPSP recruiter in San Francisco to get some more info and I just wanted to verify his information bc I've read so many different info, I don't know which one was correct. He stated that to even apply for the HPSP, you need a min gpa of 3.2 (I also heard that 3.0 gpa was the bare minimum?) and a 3.5 to be considered competitive. He also told me that the army does not consider post bacc gpa. He stated that army doesn't take 3 yr hpsp applications but only considers 3 yr hpsp ONLY if you're a rollover as a 4 yr applicant rejectee.
I was wondering if this min gpa was the same for both Air Force and the Navy? I don't know if this still applies but I read that for the hpsp, they use a matrix based selection where they consider a culmination of gpa, DAT scores etc. If you're under the minimum, I heard you can get a gpa waiver for it? Where can one get one? Sorry for all the questions but wanted to double check with those that have applied for the scholarship recently.
