[quote=Anonymous]New Poster: I think service academies are discussed less because reasonable people understand that they are only right for a pretty small sub-set of young people. Whereas really anyone can find their place at a big state school or even a LAC, not everyone is right for the service academies. You need a certain level of fitness, a certain attitude toward public service, and a certain plan for your life (which includes 7 years in the armed forces). The number of 17 year-olds for whom all of these things are true is pretty small, which is fine. But, that's probably why not that many parents are discussing the academies. [/quote]
