[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The service academies have around a 33% dropout rate and outcomes for droup outs are not great. Look to your left look to your right one of you won't be here at graduation. If your child is a borderline case it's better they don't go and become a dropout. After sophomore year you owe big $$$ if you don't finish as well. The academies are a great place to be from there's no denying that.[b] If you're on this forum debating which one has the better undergraduate experience you are approaching this from entirely the wrong mindset.[/b][/quote] This, exactly. I dated a guy at USNA and it was brutal. He was an ideal candidate, but after plebe summer he looked absolutely cowed. I couldn’t believe how mean the other students were to the underclassmen. He didn’t get any demerits one week, so they just made them up. If your student is at all hesitant, do ROTC. I’d never let my child do USNA, just based on what I saw and was told. [/quote]
