I am writing this because when I applied I couldn't find any resources to advise me, so maybe this post can help future applicants.
So I have pretty LOW dental school GPA, like Below 3.0 and when I approached my local AMEDD recruiter the Commanding officer straight refused to work with me because I didn't have 3.2 GPA. I ended up working with a recruiter across the country and received the Scholarship. The recruiter said there were more applicants this cycle than other cycles but I ended up getting it. So don't let your AMEDD recruiter tell you you can't apply for 3 or 2 yr program because of your GPA. But I know for a fact I wouldn't have gotten HPSP if I was not prior enlisted.
Being Prior enlisted will prioritize you over other civilian applicants.
My stat
Undergrad GPA: 3.68
DAT: 19
I got LOR from commanding officer, Platoon SGT, Training NCO, XO, Dentist I worked long time with.
Soldier stats I wrote on Resume:
4 year in Service
Was member of Sapper association
Brigade Soldier of the Year/ Best warrior
Division Best squad
USARC Best warrior competitor
So if you are prior enlisted in Dental School with low GPA and recruiter not willing to work with you? Just find a different office.
