[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone whose daughter got accepted to Harvard and Princeton[b] with huge amount of merit aid[/b] and is choosing West Point. I’m very impressed. And grateful for her service. [/quote] :roll: The parents were lying.[/quote] I’m the poster who knows these people. She got some kind of scholarship or financial aid. The point was that it wasn’t an economic decision that made the girl choose West Point. And this happens more often than you would think. My friends are part of several West Point parents Facebook groups and plenty of parents report that their kids got into Ivies but choose WP. The kind of motivated top of their class kids that get into Ivies are also the kind that end up at a service academy. And just because you don’t know any in your DC bubble doesn’t mean they don’t exist. [/quote]
