[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Marzipam][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Respect for the service academies, but other high ranked schools are filled with all sorts of varsity sports athletes so enough of the physical stuff. 
No need to hype it up. [/quote]

Of course. But I’m trying to answer the previous person’s question over which school is more difficult to get into. Take the top 10/20/50 whatever students in your high school and tell them to apply to both. I guarantee there will be fewer West Point acceptances (appointments.)[/quote]

How many of the WP accepted students could make it to schools like NYU Tufts Georgetown with the 1300 average SAT

why are you so hung up on SAT scores? It's not a fair comparison when West Point requires scores and the other schools do not.

Again, tell your kid to apply to West Point and UVA and report back as to where they are admitted.[/quote]

Test scores are vital part of the application if you didn't know.
check the scores before it was optional. Not much change.
My healthy 1540 SAT kid doesn't want that kind of life style.  
Only handful of kids want that and that applicant pool is 1300 SAT.

WP average GPA is 3.7.
It's hard to make even T100 with those combination LOL
Enough.  My level of respect is even going down a lot after this.
