[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A girl on my daughter's swim team went to one of them this year. She is not very bright and her stats pretty average. Pleasant enough disposition, but she honestly would have been rejected from UVA and VTech.[/quote] I think you are confused. Most of the colleges admit athletes without any academic achievements. Service academies are not exception. My nephew plays lacrosse at one of the Ivies and he was a solid C student in high school with not impressive SAT score. My daughter is in the service academy. She was admitted to UVA with full academic scholarship and to VT, in addition to three Ivies and several top engineering programs in the country. In her class, every kid who got in not as an athlete was admitted to at least one Ivy. For few of them, Harvard was a back up choice.[/quote]
