[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids I know personally were all decent to strong students, but not highest level academically. Similar athletically.[/quote] My child was a NMF. Many of his friends at his service academy were also NMFs, so yes, many service academy students are highest level academically. [/quote] There are also plenty of NMFs at the University of Alabama but that does not mean you need to be an NMF to get in there. There are many very bright kids at the service academies. They are not easy to get into. But it is possible to get in there while being below the top 1%, particularly as a recruited athlete, but also as a NARP[/quote] If a kid has no "hook", such as recruited athlete, from veteran families, etc, does he need to be around top1% to get in?[/quote] No. They can't be an idiot and they need to be near the top of the class but top 1% is generally not necessary.[/quote]
