[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are selective colleges, regardless of the commission at the end.  Like you pointed, it doesn’t make a difference to the overall racial breakdown of total military officers since there are multiple pathways to becoming an officer.  But a degree from West Point is significantly more prestigious than a degree from University of Toledo.  They rightly should stop AA. [/quote]

Prestigious to who? You have to serve as an officer for 5 years, no future employer really cares where you went to undergraduate college after where were a Naval Officer for 5 years, they'll ask you more questions about being a Naval Officer than your 4 years at Annapolis  [/quote]

You are uninformed.

Graduates of the three main service academies are highly sought after by employers in both the public and private sectors once their full commitment is complete and the officers are given an Honorable Discharge.

Forbes ranks undergraduate institutions by earnings of graduates 10 years after graduation; the USNA & the USMA are near the top in earnings as revealed in this ranking. USAFA grads also do well.[/quote]
