West Point is also a lot harder to get into than Harvard or Princeton. Not only do you have to be a stellar student, a good athlete, and active in the community, you must have a recommendation from a congressman or senator.

West Point grads can typically write their own ticket after they graduate and serve their time in the Army (assuming they opt to move on to civilian life at that time). A West Point degree will get you virtually any job you want.

The military academies are all excellent, but this is a relative ranking and is more about slipping standards at the Ivy League schools than anything else.

But they don’t learn to craftily trash the Constitution and our founders there yet. They have not become “progressive” doncha know? Moreover, they don’t have any “philosopher” explaining how killing the old is gooood.

Assuming you don't want to work in academia.
