Your chances are lookin' good!

Well I'm in Air Force so that's probably why. Half the cadets in air force were non-com/special cadets.

"Special student" is still a pretty common term actually. It's not upsetting or anything. It's just a way to differentiate between the non-com cadets.

I was just kicked out of Air force at VMI for not commissioning! I'll take a whack at these questions as I talked to the commandant a little bit about this. First, are they requiring Army ROTC for "non-commissioning individuals" because it has the most funding and arguably the best leadership...

You should also consider which school has the right major for you. VMI is pretty limited on majors, as it's a small school. Also, you're right about the sleepy town thing. It's a rural area. If you prefer the city to the country, that's definitely something to consider because you're going to be...

Unfortunately, you can't. :/

If you keep up a 3.4 or better you could probably get into Tech. You should have no problem getting accepted to VMI.

I'm rat challenge cadre for Alpha! Welp, that's pretty cool. I thought that name looked familiar.

Your rat wouldn't happen to be in Alpha company would he?

Rat classes are just basic gened classes. Generally, they are pretty easy. These are all the 101 classes that normal college freshmen would take. Although, as a third who has taken Calc 1 as well as Calc 2 here, I can say that they move very fast. Both my professors were great, don't get me...

You're MOST LIKELY in. I got in with the following resume applying early decision, if it helps you feel better. 3.55 weighted GPA 2 AP classes my whole high school career (US and Gov't) 3 years of XC and track, only 2 of them varsity. no community service I think you have a very good chance of...

I just finished my first year at VMI. There is no hazing, and it is taken extremely seriously. You'll do silly stuff like drink some nasty drink at times but it's all in good fun. All these schools are afraid of a lawsuit, so they do their best to insure hazing doesn't occur. I have heard...

He made the right choice taking English comp. That class consumes literally 5 to 10x more time than any other one if you want to get an A or B. I didn't do STP because I preferred the vacation :cool: . . but I regretted it when I was spending 50% of my time on that one class both semesters. I'm...

if your gpa is out of 4.0 you'll get in. it's a little bit harder for out of state but you definitely have a good shot. about the interview, it really isn't worth going to if you live so far away. when i went for one (i live two hours away), it was over in about 10 minutes.. if you're...

You will get into norwhich, you will get into citadel, and you have a good shot at vmi. follow yours dreams! ; )
