Hi, I'm a girl trying to see the best possible way to get into VMI. I also have several questions. First off, here's a general background:
home schooled, graduated '09 GPA low (3.15, haven't taken SAT yet, but practice tests are promising)
20 years old (Taking a year out of school to complete an EMT course)
Was a Certified Nurse's Aid for two years during high school
Will be an EMT with the finish of the course in less than a week.
Haven't done sports, but very athletic
Plan:
Work as for at least one year, (neither I or my family can pay for VMI)
Krav Maga training to begin next year, for as long as possible.
Questions:
1. As a girl, can I get into VMI using the physical fitness test for the guy's standards, or will they not let me? (I don't want to go to the college without being strong enough to deserve it)
2. Does the background posted look promising?
3. Will the guys respect me? (I want an honest opinion, from a guy who's gone through/or is going through VMI)
4. Also, I don't want a commission, because I plan to go into Air Force Office of Special Investigations, and I can only make arrests if I'm a civilian agent. I've heard that in ROTC, there is extra training for those who are commissioned. Will they make an exception, if I tell them that I would like extra training because I will be an agent in AFOSI? Or am I just nutsy?
Thanks for your time.
