Chances?? How long does it take?

<p>I completed my application at the end of october, when do you think i will find out if i got accepted or not? </p>

<p>My SAT scores were not that great: 570 math and 530 reading
I have a good amount of extracirricular activities and community serivice and 3.6 GPA</p>

<p>I want to join the corps of cadets though and i put that on my application, do you think this will help?</p>

<p>It is somewhat of a myth that checking that you want to join the Corps of Cadets is a sure way to acceptance. How much serious interest have you shown in the Corps? For instance, have you been to any special programs like Spend the Night/Day with the Corps? Have you spoken with any of the Corps Recruitment Staff? Did you include interest in the Corps in any of your essays?</p>

<p>Absent those things, your application will probably be looked at as a review candidate along with the other review candidates regardless of checking interest in the Corps. Since A&M has rolling admissions, it’s very hard to estimate when you might hear a decision. It could be anywhere from now until May of 2010. The majority of review applicants don’t hear until after the new year.</p>

<p>okay thanks</p>

<p>and i did attend the spend the night with the corps program and i included that on my application.</p>

<p>That is good. A&M definitely looks favorably on applicants that have actually participated in programs on campus.</p>

<p>My son is currently a freshman in the Corps. He was a review applicant and also earned an Army ROTC scholarship. He was admitted in November.</p>
