[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Air Force Academy isn't all that prestigious, but West Point and Annapolis are. But it's still very specialized. Grads concentrate in engineering, defense contracting, etc. I've heard from others that they have a fairly low percentage who go on to professional schools, largely because they have multi-year service commitments and a lot of them end up getting married too, are fairly far along in their careers when they finally go civilian. In terms of prestige, I would put them a notch or two below the ivy league foremost employers. But for some employers, particularly those in the defense industry, probably a notch above.[/quote] Agree, based on people I know from top schools (incl. Ivy), West Point, and the Naval Academy. It's a specialized group so they're almost not comparable, but overall they are rigorous and prestigious. On par, but different, than top 20 schools. More selective in some ways. [/quote]
