[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I've toured USMA/West Point a couple times, and the tours were led by graduates who had also done a sport. One quit the sport after freshman year; the other stuck it out all 4 years but considered quitting. It's a big time/travel commitment on top of other cadet requirements. If your kid doesn't have the academic stats, they'll frequently admit to a prep school first.[/quote] Is that so different than athletes at all schools? [/quote] Are the academic requirements at other schools as high? Also, look at what all cadets have to do; that's not going to all be excused just because the cadet is playing a sport. Also, you can do whatever you want after graduating from other schools, as opposed to active duty then the reserve requirement after a service academy. [/quote]
