<p>I checked I was interested in the Corp of Cadets (Not sure If I will join)
Visited campus and taken tours</p>
<p>i appreciate the input, hopefully ill get in. And does anyone know if I have to join the corps i know it helps and i am interested just wondering. btw its not a cake walk to get in</p>
<p>There is a big misperception that if you just check the “Want to join the Corps” box on your application that you will have an advantage above other students who do not. That is NOT the case. The Corps does have some sway with admissions, but they need to know that a student is truly interested in joining the Corps with intentions of trying to succeed in it. This is shown by attending Corps admission events, talking to the PMS/PNS and Corps recruiting, earning a military/naval scholarship outside of the A&M application process, etc.</p>
<p>If you have checked the box and shown no other indication of serious interest in joining the Corps, all that does is give them a list of people to contact AFTER those individuals have been accepted to A&M on their own merits. It does the Corps no good to sign-up people who will drop out in the first week because they only did so for university acceptance or to get on-campus housing.</p>
<p>I think I showed a bit of interest in the corps, and I am considering joining but it would not necessarily be my preference. If it came down to it to get in, I’d join in a heartbeat.</p>
