[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is my final post. Some of you are caught up in some weird defense of the academies while no defense is needed. THEY ARE FINE SCHOOLS! But, [b]while there may be the odd case of a kid turning down Harvard to attend the Naval Academy, that is atypical[/b]. While the academy students are smart, the numbers objectively indicate that they are - on average - less well-qualified than their peers ranked next to them. Another data point: the academies explicitly state that an applicant must be in the top 40% of their class. While I understand that not every applicant is accepted, a student of that achievement level stands no chance of admission to WASP. DCUM, prattle on![/quote] You could swap out “Naval Academy” for any WASP and it would still be true, so that’s not a distinguishing feature. [/quote]
