Getting accepted into Virginia Military Institute chances?
I am a junior in a college prepatory highschool (one of the best) in Florida. But i am worried i wont get accepted into VMI because of my low gpa. My goal is to comission in the army as an officer through ROTC. I have a terrible gpa due to personal issues (depression in freshman, breakup in junior). But i am very confident in getting a high test scores and excell in other areas. If i applied with the following, would i have somewhat of a chance to get accepted right after highschool? I really am serious about this as i have ambitious goals in life, and that includes becoming an officer in the army.
1. 2.3 gpa (not good at all)
2.200 community hours in library, church, hospital ect...
3.Nearly perfect SAT/ACT scores (1550/32)
4.been to clubs such as FBLA, Japanese culture club, and chess club.
5.Have taken honors classes throughout my Highschool along with one/two AP Classes.
6.sports is not my strong area either, but i do work out and am physcially fit, along with Swimming and playing Tennis
7.I have leadership potential, with business/History/Politics as my favorite subjects.
8.i can get reccomendations from 2 teachers and try to write an essay regarding my potential.
9.Great public speaking
Do you perosnally think my gpa would instantly deny my chance of getting accepted?
