Definitely take a whole package of athletics, academics, and mental/physical endurance to be successful.  A lot more dynamic skills are required here than any other academic institution.  [/quote]

Nope, a lot of better atheletes and acdemically superior kids don't want military.
SAT range only 1200-1420
I would say it's equivalent to T50 schools.

Comparing these schools to others is kind of comparing applies and oranges, though. [/quote]

They don’t get it. [/quote]

Who are the people who want to keep comparing these niche schools to other schools?

[/quote]

People who don't like the military or are suspicious of them.  People who see military service veterans as benefiting unfairly from a post-service "affirmative action" apparatus for education, jobs, etc.  People who are intimidated by those who have survived the crucible of these academies and beyond.  People who deep down are cowards.  People who think the only recipe for success are perfect SAT scores, and recognizing that such a metric is hardly a requisite to be successful by any measure of the word (to include $) and academy grads prove just that over and over again, generation by generation.[/quote]

Looks to me it's the other way around. 
People are indifferent about service academies, but the service academy people want to compare it to other elite schools.
