I got a TWE and am going to reapply. Will be attending Virginia Tech for a year (unless I get another TWE)
So if I work my ass off first year at VT, and keep a 4.0, do you think I'll have pretty good chances?At some schools, freshmen can find it hard to get into one or more of the plebe courses. It's really, really important to do everything you can to make those work. This is particularly true for calc, chem and English (with writing). If you find you are unable to get into one of these courses, physics is probably an OK substitute. But I would encourage you to contact you RD if this occurs and discuss your best options rather than guess (and guess wrong).
Also, I had a successful reapplicant from VT about a decade ago. Achieved a 4.0 in first year of an engineering major. Also did extremely well at USNA (has long since graduated). So it can definitely be done.
What's an ECA? Extra curricular? Assuming I did courses similar to a plebe schedule, maintained a 4.0, retook and improved my ACT, joined a debate club, held a job, and improved my CFA would you say that's pretty good?I think it will give you a fighting chance. Remember it’s still about the whole person. Is it a 4.0 in Plebe like schedule, improved test scores, continue to volunteer and find an ECA? If yes to all that then you have a great shot. There is no black and white answer to this.

Only thing I'm kinda worried about is writing my personal statement because I thought it was pretty good, so the fact that I have to change the entire thing kinda scares my but I'm sure I'll come up with something as I work my way in VT
