Hey everyone! I just got accepted into VMI for the Class of 2029, and I’m super excited to start this journey.
I was wondering if there are any other admits here? Would love to connect and maybe start a group to chat, share advice, and get to know each other before we head off to Lexington...
Vmi guys I really hate to be frank like this but please give me your honest opinion. I have a pre existing condition that prohibits me from contracting.
Saw this earlier and felt like it had a ton of good info for people interested in these programs. Reposting just to keep the info available:

My son, a sophomore in Northern Virginia, is obsessed with getting into VMI. He loves the military, we've had soldiers in every generation in our family, and I frankly believe he would flourish there...if he can get in.
I'm looking for gritty, frank advice on what his chances might be before I...
Hello everyone.
I am new here. I am a senior in high school applying to VMI. I am interested in NROTC, but VMI webpage says that cadets who do not plan to commission will be enrolled in army ROTC. I want to do NROTC. I contacted VMI NROTC and they replied:
"Unfortunately we do not have the...
Hello. I am new here.
I am a senior in high school looking to get into a senior military college. VMI is my favorite because of the majors it offers and the movie Field of Lost Shoe. Besides that, my step dad is naval academy graduate. He is retired now. This is why I want the military...
Hello I am new here. I know this has been asked a lot, but I still have some doubts. I read in other forums that USMA is the place if you want to be a professional army officer. I also read that people prefer west point since it is a more reputable school, though I read and saw YouTube videos...
Im a Second classmen at VMI and I am extremely proud of it, however I can't help to notice that from when I was a Rat to now, there has a been a massive decline in Corps wide discipline and in turn a sharp rise in a "don't care" culture or as its know here as "**** bag" culture. The culture now...
So I received this email and I am not sure if it means I got accepted since it does not say in the PostView portal if I got accepted or rejected. Also the subject of the email is "Institute Scholarship". Will I be notified by mail?
Good Afternoon,
We are excited you chose to apply for...
Does anyone have experience attending the summer transitional program ( STP) at VMI
I want to attend , but the cost will be approximately 5K for one class because of out of state tuition.
Specifically VMI and Citadel, but I'm also curious about the other four too. Also, does your sleep schedule change over the weekends or summer training?
Hey yall,
I'm a current senior looking to major in psychology and commission into the Marines, and I have several questions on how to decide between the two. I've been browsing the forums, but most of the posts I've run into are for AROTC commissions which don't really help me that much.
As...
Rising senior; will be applying for VMI (my first choice) as well as other SMCs this year. I'm from Northern VA, D.C. suburbs.
Here's the point: I've got a weighted GPA of 2.9 (2.5 unweighted) thanks to personal issues and a nasty case of teenage depression.
I'm probably doomed, but I will not...
I believe that VMI sent me some admissions paperwork, and I put down my intent to enroll in Navy ROTC. However, after re-examining what I wanted to get out of my military service, my parents and I decided that I should do Army ROTC. If the paperwork that they sent me is when I locked-in my...
I am planning on commissioning army from VMI and I was wondering how hard it is to branch in something like Finance corps. I am not too interested on branching combat arms or something like transportation, but it’d be interesting to know how competitive all of the possible career options are...
I will be attending VMI this fall (or whenever COVID-19 finally lets up), and I am planning to pursue a commission in the Navy. However, I didn't pick up the 4-year scholarship. I am going in as a Tier 3 Major (History), and I don't want to force myself to pursue a Tier-1 Major because I know...
Is it possible for an SMP cadet to transfer to another school? I will be in in the Indiana guard soon, and I plan on attending a local school for my freshman year, after which I plan to apply for the USMA. But if this doesn't work out, I'm interested to know, is it possible for me to transfer to...
