I am a dental student that will be graduating from dental school in 2021. Thanks for being a part of the dental community and keep living the dream! -Dakota
This has got to be the most informative video about the military scholarship. Thank you so much to you and to your colleagues for taking the time to do this. :)
We wished we had this video when we applied so we are glad Dakota Had the idea to do this video:) its all thanks to him!
can you get this group together again, and go over the NEW things they each found out throughout the year, things they were surprised by.
Very good idea, even if they webcam eachother
Good idea!!!
I am a dental student at UNC School of Dentistry graduating in 2021 with the Air Force 3 year HPSP. This was a great video! I agree with pretty much everything you guys said!
Ryan Stitt Thank you for tour willingness to serve our country! Don't forget to get your free laptop rental with your scholarship! www.laptopsformilitarydocs.com
I have a question
Do they pay all of your loans in 3 years ?
Can i apply as a foreign student studying in usa ?
My concern and big question is do they send these students to war zone, once they finish school?
@@royamehr4937 they mentioned it in the video. It’s highly unlikely, unless there is a draft for wartime. However, you should certainly take that into account.
I have a few questions about that is there a way we can contact you and ask about living
Really great information! I got accepted for Army HPSP and was still unclear on a lot of the details. Thanks for the video!
so you only get the 2300 a month stipend? no bah etc while going to school?
@@shanemack06 you also get a bonus
@@jorf5506 yeap doing it now. a really great opportunity.
@@shanemack06 hi, did you get Your bachelors before enlisting or the military payed for your undergrad and dental achool. Thank you
@@karolg8484 i did 9 years active duty enlisted and then I got out and use my GI Bill to get my bachelor's. and then I applied for the scholarship for dental school and got it.
This literally answered all the questions I had about this scholarship! THANK YOU
This was fantastic, you've till got viewers even in 2021 haha. Thanks so much for arranging this Dakota!
Certain states do not tax military pay. My stipend is not taxed in the state of IL.
I am a Air Force Health Professions recruiter in Arizona. I recruit for Dental HPSP snd i have to say this video is AWESOME! I will definitely be sending this video to all my future applicants.
I want to join the air force HPSP program for crna school. I read that the cut off age is 36 y/o. I won't be ready to start CRNA school until I am 40 y/o with expected graduation age of 43 y/o. What is needed to get an age waiver? what requirements? thank you for your help!
@@jasont9636 at this time for HPSP there's no age waivers. What you could do is go to school and then apply for the Air Force once you're fully qualified and then you can apply for the College Loan Repayment Program.
I just called you! Thanks for your input.
Hey I’m going into my first year to UofL’s program and am looking into applying to the Air Force 3 year. I just wanted to point out and say this video is phenomenal (only half way through watching it right now). Seriously hit a lot of the key concerns people have. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it. I know dental school is very busy. Keep living the dream 🙂
Thank you Jacob! Best of luck to you at UofL! Its a great school!
DentalPro thank you!
Good luck on applying to the scholarship! If you receive it, make sure to get a free laptop rental that comes with your scholarship! www.laptopsformilitarydocs.com
Very interesting, I did not know or understand the depth of military dental service
thank you so so soooooo much for this interview. I am intrested in going into the field and its very illuminating
Im pretty sure I am gonna pursue this route, I think its perfect for me, I dont mind the travel in fact I love the idea of it, and i'll be military so i'll feel like a bad ass haha. im excited and hope that by the time I apply for dental school that I can be approved for this scholarship and pass all the requirements. thank you for such an informative video you really helped me on some very important decision making.
Awesome amount of information. Thank you so much for this video! You guys rock.
this is amazing thank you so much, you and the friend in the army should do an updated video on his omfs journey in the military
Thank you so much for posting this! I needed more info on this topic!
Hi. Dakota, thank you so much for a very interesting and informative video
😊👍👍👌👌👌👍
Ps. Good luck to you all with everything!
Thanks Sarah!
Dakota, Did you attend BYUI?
Nice video! I got the other scholarship the HSCP. And for me I actually end up making way more at the end of my 4 years of dental school vs if I would have taken the HPSP (full ride). As well I will make more over the next 4 year as dentist in the Navy than those who chose the HPSP.
Almost impossible. Your active duty E-6 pay wouldn’t cover your dental school tuition regardless how much BAH you get every month
@@airair7190 no, if you go to a public school instate it’s very doable. Only because you are considered active Duty which lets you qualify for the GI bill which pays a very significant portion of that tuition for you. So at ~210k over 4 years plus Roths that you can contribute to and have matched up to a certain number and the GI covering around 60-70% if I recall the math for tuition coverage. Even factoring in living expenses which for me is ~15k a year based on this year for me you are getting paid to go yo school. That isn’t true for every school since the living cost can vary drastically along with tuitions, but for instate it is more then doable. And you get some tax breaks, and since it’s a pay check you can invest that money and take out loans since as of now at least schools loans are at 0% interest you can come out further on top. I have used that money to diversify into buying property which I can use as a rental and will be able to live there virtually rent free. If you do it and owe money it is entirely on you for not doing your due diligence.
Also, could you get this group together again and go over the new things they each found out throughout the year?
I appreciate this video 🤩🤩🤩
love the transparency. so Informative!
Quality vid, thanks! Got most of the info I needed👌🏼
thank for the insight on all branches of the HPSP program
Thanks for making this video. Got my answers!
Awesome video! Very informative. Most informative about this topic on UA-cam.
With the program, do they recognize post-bacc or graduate GPAs? My undergrad GPA is laughable and I’m looking into ways to make me more academically competitive.
Enlisting for the military and trying to avoid deployments. Airforce, navy or Air Force it does not matter we do joint base operations and will get deployed just like any grunts.
Awesome Vid!
Thank you so much for this information, it was really helpfull
Great info! Thanks everyone!
Loved this... thank you!
great vid i want to get into the AF as a dentist!
I enlisted to the Marines and I don’t think they have the HPSP. :(
I wasn't aware of the 10 foot jump drill until after I submitted my application this week! Can anyone weigh in as to how this was? I've never jumped from something nearly that high
What GPA should be kept in high school and college for HPSP 3 or 4 years?
No one cares about high school... In college they said above a 3.7 or 3.8 gives you a good chance
I am watching this for the med school side of things (which I think is pretty near to identical), but I had no idea dental school is like twice as expensive as medical school.
Very informative!!! Thanks
I love this video! I do have a question about these lovely people. Did they go through enlistment? Or did they go to college and then enter the military? Hope you can see this because I'm three months late lol. Thank you and your colleagues so much for sharing valuable information. I enjoyed every minute of this.
I’m assuming these are all bachelor pre-dentistry (or applicable major with essentially premed requirements), take the DAT, get accepted into dental programs concurrently with the scholarship. However, I’m not positive
Army medical recruiter here and I would be happy to answer any questions!
Hey, I’m late to the table. Junior in college and want to apply the the 4 year HPSP. Have not taken the DAT yet, currently have a 3.3 gpa. Since my gpa in no where near as competitive as they stated.. what Can I be doing over the next two years to increase my chances?
@@fettyprime8780 3.2 is minimum cutoff GPA. A competitive GPA is 3.5. I’d recommend getting your GPA up however you can to make yourself more competitive. You can also ensure you have exceptional letters of recommendation and statement of motivation. All applicants have great gpa’s so I’d say that’s how to really set yourself apart.
I know I'm probably too old to qualify, but I wasn't sure. I'm 29, and unsure if I should go active as a dental assistant for 4 years then try transfer over to guard and go to school getting my bachelor degree, then try to apply for the HPSP. I didn't know if i'd be too old by that point. If I were to choose the dental path what would you choose?
Andrew Stansbury your not too old. Just need to be under 42
I went to undergrad with the girl. GO Lumberjacks!
Youre in the military? I dont think thats the case until you atted OTS.
Is HPSP dental scholarship applicable for Advanced Standing Program for International Dentists (U.S. citizen but a dental graduate from other country)?
Fantastic video
How severe myopia can HPSP tolerate before getting disqualitifedassuming that it can be corrected by glasses?
great information. Now, do graduates from Academies go this rout?
Plz can you active the english subtitles? i am Brazilian and i understand better when have subtitles
now working on it. not sure why they showed up in dutch haha
Thanks, very informative.
Can you please tell if GC can apply to either of these options for scholarships for dental school.
Also can this happen for International dentists?
For Air Force, How often do you get deployed and how long are you usually deployed for?
Great video
I’m a sgt in the army right now and I’ve been looking into this scholarship a lot. I’m currently almost done with my associates degree in general studies. What do you recommend getting a bachelors degree in?
im in the army too, id get a degree in something with a science major. im doing biology rn. I seen you comment and I was like no way
Quick question, so once you graduate form dental school and start working for the military do you still get paid like a dentist?
murad ilyasov no you get paid by rank.
Hello My name is Kyle Keith Goodman I am looking at joining the navy in becoming a general dentist I would love to speak to someone about what bachelors degree to get
Your major in undergrad isn't very important. All that matters are the pre-health requirements which are generally 1 year of each of: physics, chemistry, biology, and organic chemistry. You may also be required to take 1 semester of: English, psychology/sociology, and calculus/statistics. Many pre-health undergrads major in the sciences and take upper division chem or bio.
@@redshark618 do you know how much the dental school prerequisites differ from a dental hygiene program's? I know it can take a bachelors degree for both but I'm hoping they're closely the same.
Are dental assistants stuck in one base do they get operational deployment often or never
How would I go about doing this if I’m already active duty ?
Did he say the other program was called htsp
Are you still required to go to Basic training?
Hello Kendria this is logan from the video. Its called the direct commission course (for the army) and its not basic training its a officers training course. They teach you how to be an officer and how the day to day dentist life of a military captain will be. Its 4 weeks long and you can take it in the summer between 1st and 2nd year...or after school. Its recommended between 1st and second year
So you have to have graduated from dental school in order to apply for the scholarship?
No need for music, super distracting. Good information
Could you answer how long deployments generally are for each branch and how often a dentist can get deployed?
Meraj Sayyed it Varys for the job you have
Meraj Sayyed dentists rarely rarely ever deploy. Usually it’s the people begging to go that do because there are so few positions.
very informative
Can you request to be only with FMF units as a dentist?
how much do you get pay after you start at the first year?
Do y'all have any information about what life is like on the bases? like whenever you get assigned somewhere do you actually get to go experience the place or are you stuck inside all day, every day of the week working? Also, once assigned can you bring spouses with you?
During school are you required to check in frequently and perform the fitness test/ miscellaneous training, say yearly? Does this get in the way of summer dental school?
Also, is the AEGD that you have to do included in the time you have to pay back?
Can you get military based scholarship for advanced standing dental programs for international students?
How long does the process take? I am very determined to become a Medical Professional and passionate about serving my country. I have a graduate degree.
How much do they pay you as a dentist once you are in?
Italiana 7 US Military will pay you be rank. Look up via Google/Yahoo: US Military pay grade.
I feel bad for whoever will be under her.
What if I am already enlisted and have a combat MOS? Am I eligible to apply for HPSP? If so how do I apply?
CRIZ OFFICIAL also enlisted homie, first thing is you have to get a bachelors degree, after that once you’re accepted in a dental school you can apply for HPSP
Same boat^ Does it have to be a Bachelors in Biology or 4 yrs of both online and in class classes work? For guys in our positions it’s difficult to get in class physically and get to work.
Is this scholarship even worth the time to apply if it's sooooo competitive?
3.95 GPA in undergrad is insane
can you get into a private school??
So what the probability of getting this if youre the most unfit person in the world
If I do this and I want to go into forensic pathology, will I do my years of service back as a forensic pathologists? Or will I have to do something different because forensic pathologists is not in high demand
“A couple of guests” then the camera pans to three people🤔😂
Hello everybody.
I have a question.
My daughter wants to pursue a career as an Army Doctor. She is dual enroll and she is senior this year. She will finish with her associate degree and high school at the same time. Would it be better for her to finish her Bachelors and apply to Med School out in the civilian side first an apply for the Army Scholarships as a civilian, or enlist and take the combat medic route an get her associate thru the Army an apply to medical while in the Army? Thank you
I know it's late, but for posterity: I'd recommend getting the bachelors first IF she can afford it. That will be the fastest option since she'd go straight from bachelors to med school under HPSP. If she enlisted, that would add an extra 4-6 years to the timeline. Enlisting may be worth it for the GI Bill to pay off undergrad, and to increase her maturity and improve her chances at HPSP. But it's not strictly necessary. If she is already mature, a good student, and can afford a bachelors, then going to undergrad will be the simplest route to med school.
Current Army Medical recruiter here. Send any questions my way!
Marcus Brandt i have some questions
Chunlee I’ll do my best to answer them.
For letters of recommendation, who is it best to get them from? College professors, dentists that I know, friends in the military, etc.
Jensen walker you need 3 but you can have up to 5 letters of recommendation. At least one needs to be from a supervisor. I recommend 2. This can be a professor or someone like that. The rest can be from whomever. It’s best to have letter writers that can speak of you potential as a leader and medical professional in the Army.
Marcus Brandt awesome. Thank you!
Do they send u to the war zone, like Afganistan?
ok but your take-home salary averages less than 50k per year
How !?
can i get the buddy in the navy email? pleazeee
I’m army national guard. Would I be able to chose any branch to do hpsp through?
