[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a current West Point Cadet who graduated from TJ. Generally thriving but would say academics have been generally on easy side, as TJ prepared well, while military classes/, physical training/leadership details have been challenging. Average scores for admission reflect commitment to obtaining geographic and racial diversity while also ensuring a component of enlisted Soldiers (at least 3 years out of HS) and D1 athletes are accepted. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but I have been impressed with opportunities, challenges, post grad options. Admissions brief we attended said everyone would face a "personal crisis" during 47 month experience to overcome and that has been true, starting with required boxing class first semester where you will literally be punched in the face 😀 Class starts with 1200 but typically graduates about 900. Not sure how that attrition rate compares [/quote]
