[b]Gone are the days of the kid who is a varsity athlete, class president, and founder of multiple school clubs being the " ideal candidate.[/b]

They want kids who are passionate about something and have already shown that passion in their choices. [/quote]

Honestly my recommendation these days to kids like this are to gun for the [b]military academies[/b] (don't look at overall acceptance rate, the acceptance rate for admits/nominees is decently high).

Your typical white or asian american from a lower to upper middle class that's not 'hooked' in someway would be better served the academy route should he/she get a nomination. [/quote]

don't you have a 4 year commitment though after that?[/quote]

5 years active duty.

But the education is great, the network is extremely strong post-military career, grad-schools like you....it's not for everyone (i didn't have the physical requirement for it, my siblings couldn't do the dietary thing at the academies even though all of us did SLS at the various academies to get a taste (two of us did it at USMA and USNA) and two at (USMA and USAFA).

It isn't for everyone, but i think its an option more should give thought to IMO. [/quote]
