[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Craziest thing to be about the Bethesda list is 21 Naval Academy apps, 7 Air Force Academy apps, and zero West Point apps. Can that be right?[/quote]
Do you think that's high or low?  If you think it's high, the military academies are excellent free educations, especially for STEM careers, and with at least Naval and Air Force, you'd come out an officer with less chance of being killed, and could go on to free medical school or law school after that if you play your cards right.  Naval Academy is nearby, and Air Force is in Colorado (both locations have their appeal).  If you think it's low, the explanation for that is that many people in this area don't want their children in the military, especially under this President, and especially with an undeclared war that's been going on for over 17 years.  It's just too dangerous or too likely that you will be fighting for a cause that you don't believe in.[/quote]
It's really the discrepancy between Annapolis (21 applications) and [b]West Point (0) that's odd.[/b][/quote]

West Point could have as many as 6.  They don't report it if there are less than 7 apps across the schools.[/quote]
