VMI vs. The Citadel (this thread is for school bashing!)
- Thread starter DSL1990
- Start date
woot! i just got the email- i was accepted to Virginia Tech too, although they changed the major i requested, on me.
So i'm up to:
accepted:
Virginia Military Institute - visited, still my 1st choice
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - not yet visited, 2nd choice
The Citadel - not yet visited
Virginia Tech (Corps of Cadets) - not yet visited
North Georgia State College and University - will not go here (they only have Army ROTC for their Corps of Cadets so they were a safe, backup school since i'd have to still apply for Navy OCS after college graduation)
still waiting for an admission decision on:
Texas A&M (Corps of Cadets) - no word yet
George Washington University - no word yet
College of the Holy Cross - no word yet
Norwich University - no word yet
University of Maryland at College Park - no decision yet
...and the number one school i'm sorry now that i didn't apply to (i thought i wouldn't be accepted and now i'm sorry i didn't try):
US Naval Academy -:cry_125:

I'm sure all the cadre's at the military type schools will be thrilled you go "yay!" after each acceptance.

Getting accepted to Norwich is not a big deal...staying there is. There are some real retards who got into Norwich. But congrats!
I graduated two years ago and the Corps was still the major majority. The school likes to play up there civilian side as much as possible. More paying civilians = more scholarships for the corps side. Most of the civis dont live on campus, most that live on campus are althletes, doesnt help because we will foever suck at football. But we do beat the coasties. The civilians were annoying, but having more girls on campus did make the upperclass experience better.
The thing I liked that was different then the federal academies (but I would have gone to the fed academies if given the chance) was being around all the other services..Most of my buddies are in the army, air force and marines, not the navy.
Anywhere you go its going to be up to you how "hardcore" or how much of a tool you want to be.
But honestly...if you know in your heart you want to fly, why not Emry Riddle?

They pick your major? Or they got your interests wrong?

GO NAVY
ROTC rocks. Granted its not as "hard core" as the military colleges ( I assume) but you get that disipline while getting to be a relativly normal civilian. Way to go in my mind. Wait for those other schools. I am actually trying to transfer to GW. I love ROTC I wouldnt want to have gone anyother way.
they gave me my alternate choice. but it was a distant alternate.
I just can't believe they pick your major.
When I applied at Tech they accepted me into General Engineering (the college) but was able to pick my own major. Did they put you in "University Studies"? That just means they're giving you your freshman year to show you can be admitted to the college you're trying to get into.
yep. i wanted mechanical or aerospace engineering and got university studies. good to know that it's kind of a temp major. so what do you have to do? could i still take engineering courses like engineering 104 if i am university studies?
