[quote=Anonymous]my kids went to an all-boys jesuit school and probably half or even 2/3rds of the kids could get into a service academy if they wanted. I dont know anyone who wanted it who didn't get it. - first the high school itself was competitive to get into. but not super hard. but all kids were good enough students. - the curriculum was college prep so every kid did pretty good to great on the SAT/ACT - the college counseling office knew how this worked and was on top of it - local reps knew the high school and liked it. plays into old prejudices about "good kids" but whatever - the letter wasnt' too hard to get. - there's a culture of athletics at the school so even if the kid wasn't athletic per se, they were in shape. - families who were at least open to the idea - school that pushed "service" "god and country" etc. - military academies like all the above.
