[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Academy grad with a graduate degree from Stanford I am amused by this thread. Imagine my Academy grad kids would be also, one went to Harvard Kennedy upon graduation and is flying F 22's and the other is an Astronautical Engineer in the Space Force. [/quote]

For all your and your kid’s academic achievements, you still have problems with reading comprehension.

The stats are what the stats are, and in this case academies have a SAT 25/75 of 1200/1400 while the schools they’re ranked amongst have a range of 1475/1550. Maybe you were an academic rockstar. Great! It still doesn’t disprove the data, which clearly shows that most academy admits are not testing at the level of the schools they rank amongst. Period.

Further, these schools are in no way similar to other SLACs, except that they have an education component. And no, no one is questioning the character, the conditioning, the discipline, or any other aspect of cadets.

It is what it is, and USNWR should remove academies from the current rankings. Rant over![/quote]
