[quote=Anonymous]The service academies are best combination of highest prestige, with the easiest admissions standards. Assuming you can pass the medical and physical requirements, they all overweight SAT scores. If you have what would be considered solid grades on this board, well rounded extracurriculars, and 1400+ SATs, your chance of admission is very good. 1500+ SATs are almost a guaranteed admit. Yes, yes, yes - you need to serve in the military. I am strictly addressing the topic of this thread. Don't be intimidated by the single digit admit rate. The denominator is exaggerated for a variety of reasons. The real admit rate for fully completed and physically qualified applications is at least 25%. Sure that is relatively low in the overall college landscape. But it's a high admit rate vs. peers for the prestige and admiration the academies carry. The Naval Academy's yield rate is a blistering 85%.[/quote]
