GT 110 is never waiverable. Even when the Army was taking OCS candidates with only 60 SH of work, it was still a 110 GT. 110 GT is required for all commissioning programs, AMEDD, OCS, WOCS, etc. They all list GT as non waiverable.

All depends on the needs of the Army. If they are short Candidates, maybe, but I wouldn't count on it. A better choice would be to go to one of the study sites and study up on the test, then retake it and hopefully you will get a better score. I haven't heard the Army offering many waivers for OCS lately, with the exception of Age waivers.

Other thoughts: Ask about retesting, if possible, also, have you done OCS qual exams at all like AFOQT, that I had to do for USAF OTS? And, would you want grad school at all of you haven't started it yet? Look up also the intersvc PA program, if you hanpvemt seen it, run by Army at I think Ft Sam Houston, as well as the program to encourage enlisted who want medicine, it's intersvc also, I've seem YouTube videos on it, also, look up http://www.usuhs.edu, esp the USUHS grad school PhD programs, which can also be done as a civilian, I realize you're active duty now, I'm just explaining, also their grad school for nurses, up to doctoral level, though I realize that might not be your interest, as I'd said, elaborate in detail, I'll try to suggest other possibilities, if I can, OK?

No test for Army OCS these days, although I had to take one when I went though. Army PA school still requires you meet the requirements for an Army Officer, which means a GT score of 110. The best option is to take the ASVAB again. .

I follow, I just hadn't been sure, obv, if he can be allowed to redo ASVAB, that'd certainly be great, I've just found suggesting various other options, some lesser known, seem to occasionally be of interest, like USPHS COSTEP, sometimes, I've also found that trying to get more info tends to help in suggesting other possibilities, as well, esp in other svcs, if there might be any interest in trying those roues, as well....

And of not dental, what MOS, AFSC, or other field or fields have you wanted, so far as you can elaborate at all?

Look at the COSTEP pages as I'd said, also, the dental pages, further, do you actually want dental per se? If so, have you taken the DAT? Have you looked at oral surgery, esp ortognatthic surgery, and its back door to both MD and DO med training given as part of such dental oral sirg residencies? If you do want dental, also consider a PhD in either oral biology, and/or dental materials, also, look up the dental group at NIH, it was the NIDR for dental research, though I think the na!e got morphed to something else, however, trust me, it's there, just look it up, OK? If you'd care to chat, I'd be most eager to hear more, no rush, whenever you'd want, OK?

You might find this useful to join, the forum pages are quite good, also, it'd help to know more, if at all possible, your associates, bachelors, any masters or higher coursework, grades, GPAs, exact STEM and/or any other science coursework taken, so far as you might care to go into at all, the more you relate, the more I and/or others can suggest, I have an interest in career/educ topics. Also, for the website here, look at the Jr and Sr COSTEP pages, and, which svcs have you looked at, being as you're Army, I'm assuming you're trying mainly for Army, however, you most definitely should look at all of them, incl all relevant YouTube OCS as well as direct commission indoc OIS programs, I'll send the USPHS website in a moment, that's where the COSTEP pages are, or just look up USPHS COSTEP using Google, their recruiting ofc is [login to see] , I'm unsure how they view ASVAB, however, out might well Ind speaking with them worthwhile....

The ASVAB actually only goes to 99, it's a percentile quotient meaning if you score a 99 you were in the top 1% of all the testers.
He's referring to the GT requirement for commissioning.

Yes. That’s what I meant.
In that case I was told you can’t get a waiver for a line score. SFC (Join to see)

SGT(P) (Join to see) only the proponent can grant a waiver for anything. Some things are waiverable, some are not. So, if you wanted MOS but your line score was not high enough, the MOS proponent who determines the prerequisites for the MOS can grant you a waiver. HRC is not able to Grant waivers for things like eligibility prerequisites.
With commissioning GT score and security clearance are non waiverable. Age and time in service are waiverable, but only to a certain point

That’s good to know. Thank you. I was 1 point off my ST score for a job I considered and was told I couldn’t get a waiver for a line score. SFC (Join to see)
