Start Training

Training should include running, sit-ups, and pull-ups, which are required for the VMI Fitness Test (VFT), and a fitness program that will prepare you for calisthenics, marching, running on hilly terrain, and tests of stamina and agility such as the obstacle course. Mental preparation should involve improvement in self-discipline, emotional discipline, anger management, and coping with fatigue.

Placement Tests

All new cadets must satisfy placement testing requirements before matriculating. In late May, you will receive correspondence from the Admissions team with instructions for enrolling for these required tests. All students take the mathematics placement test. Students who completed two or more years of a foreign language in grades 9 - 12 will take a language-specific placement test.

Matriculation

During matriculation, new cadets and their families have an opportunity to discuss studies from their chosen curriculum, sign the matriculation pledge and add their names to the matriculation book. Also at this time, new cadets receive room assignments, mailbox numbers, email addresses, and Reserve Office Training Corps (ROTC) information.
