I was wondering how I would look to the Citadel and VMI. I am a Junior and am applying at the end of the year in early June to the Citadel. I have a GPA of 3.00 - 3.01 (unweighted) at a college prep school, and SATs of around 1600 - 1700. I also have things like Eagle Scout, and Class President and Varsity Soccer with some letters. I was just wondering if there are any Knobs or Citadel Grads out there that know how I look to the Citadel.
Thanks,
