kevin.morrison Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of applying for HPSP through the Navy. I will be going to MEPS on Friday and will be doing my interviews soon as well. I am looking for have my application in for the December review. My recruiter says that 11 scholarships have been awarded out of approximately 18. Anyone know what the chances are that I will get it? (GPA 3.79, GRE 1110, HCE 1250 hours) Also, after submitting the application...how long does it take to hear back about whether or not you've been accepted? Any information is helpful! It is my desire to serve my country as a PA so I am saying my prayers! Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHMITTIE120 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I submitted my package in March 2010, found out I was selected at the end of October, was sworn in on Jan, 5 2011. My GPA was worse than yours, GRE was higher and my HCE was approx. triple. I would say you have a good chance at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin.morrison Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks for the feedback. I see you are at Drexel. I go to Temple currently. Are you originally from this area? If so, who was your recruiter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted June 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2012 I was hoping I could also get some thoughts on my stats with hpsp/hscp I have a 3.55 GPA undergrad, 4 years ICU RN, many grad courses with a 3.86, 1040 GRE, and I've gone to Honduras twice (10 days each) where I was a first assist for ENT. Recruiter says I've got about a 60% chance of getting hpsp, but I'd like to hear from some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCHMITTIE120 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Your GPA (as long it is your calculated CASPA GPA) is great, HCE is also very good, GRE is ok. I think you have a decent if not good chance overall as long as they have not given out to many scholarships this year. You may be a little late for this years application pool that is why your recruiter is giving you the 60% chance of being awarded the scholarship. I started the process in feb. 2010, submitted by packet in March, 2010, found out I unoffically was ordered the Scholarship in Aug. 2010, officially awarded the scholarship in Oct. 2011 and commissioned in Jan. 2012. It is a long process. Let me know if you have anymore questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he said I'm ahead of schedule. He said no scholarships have been given out because for some reason (I forget why, but he did explain it) all apps have been placed on hold until July. I think he also mentioned there are fewer spots this year. Even a classmate of mine who was promised a spot and applied long ago (former corpsman) has his on hold and is no longer promised a spot. Hopefully this is all true and I should be close to the front of the line. Again, thank you for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrthoSurgeryPA Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The quotas come via BUMED. Engage them directly for the best info. Recruiters tend to go by info disseminated at a lower level. I was told there were no slots and that I had no real chance. I am now an O-3 who is a dept head at a high acuity overseas command and have deployed with the Marines as a trauma team leader...go figure. ;) Trust but verify...

kevin.morrison Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Interesting. I was told by my recruiter (who was told by someone else) that they arent giving out scholarships anymore this year. My wife and I were really looking forward to the possibility and it seems like we havent gotten solid information. What is the best way to contact BUMED for accurate info? Thanks everyone for you help, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted June 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2012 BUMED also told me that there were no spots. I told my recruiter this, but then went into about how that's true, but we are applying for next year? I wouldn't be commissioned until January and would be on the hook to pay for the first quarter of my program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
