My cousin is currently a Rat at VMI, and I've been accepted there. We have been emailing back and forth recently and I've been asking her a lot of questions about life there and what her experiences are. My top choice school is USAFA, however, so VMI is not the first thing that is on my mind.
In one of her emails, she opened with: "VMI is the most challenging military-affiliated college experience in the United States, even surpassing that of the Academies." I know that she is a bit biased as she is there now, but does anyone have an opinion on this statement? Is it true? Is there any way to be a bit unbiased and be able to tell which is more "challenging" regarding the military aspect of the schools?
Another thing to note: VMI does not have the major that I am looking at, so I will most likely not be going there, even if I do not get an appointment to USAFA. This was more for my curiosity than anything else.
Thank you so much!
