[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a self-selecting pool and not enough to have a great GPA and test scores. Must be a good student and leader in your community, physically fit, and interested in serving the military for several years post-graduation. Plenty of ‘high stat’ kids attending an Ivy or other highly selective college lack at least one of the attributes above.[/quote] THIS, and that's fine. It's fine to be brilliant but have a physical disability that precludes military service. It's fine to have struggled with your mental health, or to just not want to serve in the military. But for the kids who do have that desire, and do check all of those boxes? There's really no better path to professional success. If someone graduated from Yale Law, that tells me they are smart. If someone graduated from West Point, it tells me they are smart and they've been trained to lead. Depending on the job, I'm going to want the second one more. [/quote]
