    Last Line - Class of 2010

    65 of the 191 Americans is 34%. The stats I have seen are from 20-33% depending on the year. With the economy the way it is being at the high end seems about right.

    USMA or USMMA

    My DS is in his frist year at USMMA. I would say if are sure you want to be in the Army then go USMA. If you want to keep your options open then USMMA is great. If you want to have an experience of a lifetime where by the age of 22 you will have visited perhaps 6 continents and numerous...

    Who here had (or your son/daughter had) Kings Point as their #1 choice?

    My DS (4th Company 2013) was set on KP from the moment he did his overnight. Got accepted at USCGA and was offered a Foundation Scholarship at USNA. Sea year, the hands on experience and the choices upon graduation are the reasons.

    2014 Appointment Thread

    Re: KP vs CGA My DS and the DS of a friend of mine are both at KP 2013. Both boys had a choice and are very glad they are at KP instead of CGA. The opportunities and choices at graduation are the main reason. Also the hands on engineering and deck training are not comparable any where.
