[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The service academies have around a 33% dropout rate and outcomes for droup outs are not great. Look to your left look to your right one of you won't be here at graduation.

If your child is a borderline case it's better they don't go and become a dropout. After sophomore year you owe big $$$ if you don't finish as well.

The academies are a great place to be from there's no denying that. If you're on this forum debating which one has the better undergraduate experience you are approaching this from entirely the wrong mindset.[/quote]

The drop out rate in general for all colleges is about 25 to 30 percent. I’ve personally never heard of a drop out from an academy struggling all that much. The few I know who decided they weren’t a good fit moved on to top schools. One is at BC, another ended up at Northwestern. I’m sure it was a hard and stressful decision but to act one shouldn’t consider an academy bc the drop out rate is high and one is destined to be a life long loser if it doesn’t work out is just silly.
