I submitted my AADSAS application to the 2014-2015 cycle at the beginning of July. Since then, I have been trying to read up on the naval program. Is it best to fill out paperwork before getting acceptances into dental school? Or should I just contact a recruiter and go from there? I know the program must be pretty competitive, but are partial scholarships offered as well?

You should start contacting a recruiter now since the process could take a few months..For Navy, you can either be offered HPSP or HSCP. In general, HPSP is more beneficial..

I have started a thread for the 2019 4-year HPSP applicant in the military dentistry forums. It'd be better if we could consolidate all the discussion for HPSP this year in 1 thread.

If you are prior enlisted like me, it's better to get the HSCP. For all other apps, usually HPSP is the preferred choice.
