re: VMI , West Point, or the Citadel?

Your entire post is full of shite so let me point out how bit by bit.

Now it's nothing more than a regular state school with an ROTC program that honestly does nothing to distinguish itself from any other 4-year school.

---

It's consistently the top ROTC program in region 1 and puts out an average of 200-250 officers per year group.

Served with a female captain who went to aTm (she didn't do ROTC)

So, in other words, she was never a cadet.

and tried to educate us 'rubes' one day how it was called the 'West Point of the South'. I laughed and chimed in 'I think you're talking about VMI...

First of all, "and tried to educate" implies that, in addition to serving with a Captain from A&M, YOU tried to "educate us rubes". Replace the word "and" with the word "who" and your sentence is correct.

Second of all, the vast majority of A&M cadets take offense to being called "the West Point of the South" since multiple commandants have attempted to make the Aggie Corps more like West Point instead of what had been successful for almost 100 years to the detriment of all involved.

Bottom line: if you like being a minority in a college with more hispanics than any other race, go to ATM and try their ROTC.

Bottom line: You're full of shite.

If you want the prestige in the Army at least, you go to The Point, VMI, and then the rest (Norwich, Citadel, etc.) in that order.

In my nearly 17 years in the Army, I have never seen any evidence to make that statement true. If you want "prestige", you make yourself stand out regardless of commissioning source. Any background advantage you had prior to commissioning becomes null and void once you make Captain. You either succeed on your own merit, get chosen early for future success, get a senior rater with a favorable profile, or get left behind.
