July 15, 200422 yr Vanderbilt University Admissions Selectivity Rating: 94 Average SAT: Not reported Average ACT: Not reported 458983[/snapback] Vandy is a bad@ss school man...
July 15, 200422 yr Author im tryin to talk my brother into looking at Vandy and UNC....but pretty much it's b/t USMA (West Point) and Naval Academy. If he decides to do "real" college, I think it'll be Furman.... he's the smartest of us 2....well grades-wise.
July 15, 200422 yr Actually West point and the Naval Academy are about as "real" as it gets. Id tell him to go into the service.
July 15, 200422 yr Author Actually West point and the Naval Academy are about as "real" as it gets. Id tell him to go into the service. 459068[/snapback] damn right it's prestigious....but it's not real in the sense that you have "college life". It's up to him....He'll definitely be successful wherever he goes.
July 15, 200422 yr Yeah but he will have a much easier life onces he graduates and does his service as he will have a pick of very good jobs. Something I wont have the luxury of.
July 15, 200422 yr Texas A&M - College Station OMGHOTTIECOLLEGE :cool 459114[/snapback] You are damn right.
July 15, 200422 yr Author Yeah but he will have a much easier life onces he graduates and does his service as he will have a pick of very good jobs. Something I wont have the luxury of. 459122[/snapback] trust me, we (me, my brother, parents) know all about the benefits of graduating from USMA or Annapolis....it's still a tough decision.....he'd definitely get into either one (generally, you only apply to one, as you need a nomination, and Congressman dont hand out nominations for both academies to the same person).
July 15, 200422 yr Yeah but he will have a much easier life onces he graduates and does his service as he will have a pick of very good jobs. Something I wont have the luxury of. 459122[/snapback] If he is good enough and gets the interest of one of the bigger companies, he won't even have to do his service.
July 15, 200422 yr I went to FIU for 2 years and finished. Had no problems getting and job and a good one that makes moolah. Plata babyy thats how we do it
