[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC's "Big Three" sends at least one graduate each year to either USNA or West Point.  Most turned down Ivy or other top schools to do this. Amazing, selfless and patriotic individuals.[/quote]

OP here.

Yes, kid I know turned down HYP Ivy.  [/quote]

I would just as soon as hire from West Point as I would HYP. I don't see HYP as better.

(I am not military) It is an impressive school who puts out impressive people. And I would go so far as to say that the West Point graduates that I've known are extremely hard working, self sacrificing, as well as smart. HYP are smart, but often lack the dedication and hard work of West Point.[/quote]

This.  The service academies are rigorous in way that no other school can come close to comparing.  You need a set of qualities that many many people just don’t have; extremely high work ethic, resilience, courage, able to work steady under extreme pressure.  Then add on to that a few years of military service as an officer in charge of and leading a bunch of 18-22 yr olds out of high school- from all walks of life; accomplishing huge tasks together.

As an employer, you know you are getting a complete package of a highly qualified person when they’ve attended a service academy and served. [/quote]

The academies graduate the sort of person who will get up every morning to support their team no matter what else is going on in life. That is reason #1 why employers are so pleased to see them.

And they’ll be there 15 min early[/quote]
