I'm an applicant to the class of 2024 and have received LOA's from both the Naval Academy and West Point. Before my nomination interviews, though, I'd like to make a decision as to which is my true #1 school. I attended summer seminar and SLE so I've seen both campuses and have nothing left of my applications but a nomination. As a female I've heard the Navy is a bit better, but I'm more interested in liberal arts than STEM (which puts West Point over USNA). Additionally, I'm attracted to the Terrorism Studies minor at West Point as I would like to major in political science at either school. There is no intelligence branch straight out of the Naval Academy as there is out of West Point so I would probably branch SWO, but they have long tours and I want to have a family (Navy is the worst branch for having a family is what I hear). I think USNA would provide more freedom and an "easier" lifestyle if I can say that. I am not a recruited athlete either. For my interests, West Point seems the obvious choice, but I liked the campus and lifestyle at USNA more. As far as post-academy, branching MI from West Point fits my interests.
I also posted this thread in the Naval Academy discussion, but I thought I may get different responses here. If anyone can provide insight to my decision I'd be very grateful!
