Honestly [b]I'd consider them up there with Harvard and Yale too[/b]. In addition to needing great grades, you need the athletic ability to be there.

Plus the commitment to a service career, risk of going to war, etc.

There's a reason why a lot of future politicians come from the academies.[/quote]

LOL. You are FUNNY!

They don't want independent thinkers. They want kids who follow orders without questions. Certain types of kids. [/quote]

So a requirement, in your mind, for [b]prestige[/b], is "independent thinkers"? [/quote]

i want college kids to think for themselves. [/quote]

[b]That has nothing to do with prestige.[/b] Many independent thinkers go straight to community college for the flexibility, and many others don't care for prestige either way. [/quote]

I don't understand. If kids are unable to think for themselves and just learn to follow the orders, what's the point? Late teens - early 20s are the years when kids really open their mind. What is this "prestige" you are speaking of? [/quote]

The title of the thread: "prestigious." Prestige isn't measured by "produces the most independent thinkers." [/quote]
