Question about Army OMS civilian spots

[dentalnoob8]

If anyone here is involved with admissions for Army OMS, I'm curious if things will be much more competitive now that civilians can also apply. If I have a CBSE between 65-70 and do an externship, will I have a good chance of matching? Or will it be much tougher now since anyone can apply.

I’m curious to see how that would pan out. I wouldn’t think most applicants would be willing to take on a 4 year low pay commitment to the military.

According to the LTHET results, two civilians were selected this year through the MATCH. Interestingly, the alternate is an HPSP student. I also wonder what the commitment/benefits are like for civilians.
