[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Service academies are good options for certain kids, 
Good careers, job security, and serving our country.
More kids should be aware of the actual facts.
Thankfully we have facts from the official West Point source.

25%-75% SAT range =  1260-1360
Academically if you are an average kid in the DMV area, you have a good shot.

Physical requirements are not hard to pass.    
It's Pass/Fail. It tells you the maximum. 60% of the maximum would be Passing.
I'm 50 in fairly good condition and I think I can pass.  
Ton of young kids with decent physical ability should be able to pass it.
Let me know if my interpretation is incorrect or if you have the correct passing scores.

Seems to me there are people with an agenda to scare off perfectly good candidates by spreading lies such as they are top of the class or exaggerating the physical requirements.  
Maybe Russian or Chinese spies to weaken our military force? 
We don't need mumbo jumbo from these clowns.
We have facts.

I suspect you’re the same 50 year old who has posted so many times about how West Point and other academies are for “average” kids. Several posters have now shown you how you are misinterpreting the data you provided.

I’m curious: why do you need to share your “truth” about easy academy admissions? Why does this matter to you so much? [/quote]

No one has shown anything.  They were just bullshiting without any source. 
I myself was blindly thinking that these kids are top class academically SAT 1500 range kids, and the physical requirement would be really tough from rumors.
It's not true after checking out the facts..

This board is about sharing correct information regarding colleges.
