 :thumbup: I am curious among the elite schools how the military academies rank in terms of Asian admissions?  Maybe our Asian friends should be pushing their students in that direction too.  After all, you get a free education at among the top schools in America and guaranteed employment afterward and an alumni network that will tie you into the top ranks in politics and business in America.

It's a generalization, but military service is not big with the Asian families I've known. [/quote]
Well, the point of military is to serve their country, which is contrary to Asians' focus on winning the prize.[/quote]

I'm asian. In our family it was a food issue - both of us did the summer leadership seminars at west point and annapolis and admissions officials at both places were very interested in us applying. However we struggled with the food and didn't go through with it.

For asian people without particular dietary challeneges I agree with you though - asians should look to the military academies because there is a push there to attract more minorities.

What exactly was the "food" issue? [/quote]
