Hi Armyhealth,
I'm interested in applying for the HPSP, but I wonder how strict the following requirement is:
"Bachelor's degree emphasizing natural sciences"
I am what people call a nontraditional applicant. Basically, someone who graduated with a bachelors in humanities but will have taken the prerequisite natural science courses (e.g., lower and upper division biology, chemistry, physics) after graduation from college. I will have no formal degree emphasizing natural sciences. Will this make me ineligible to apply?
No, that is an old description. As long as you can get a into a vet school and have a 3.0 GPA and over a decent GRE you have a shot at the scholarship. I had a dance major who went and did her pre-reqs in a 1 year post bacc program and she was awarded the scholarship.
