Depends on how good your sob story is, but in general I agree.
The congressional recommendation thing isn't all that hard to get anymore. I don't even think you necessarily have to be a constituent of the guy making the recommendation. I also think that 20 years of real, brutal combat have kind of altered the calculus for a lot of top high school grads.

Depends on which Ivy you are talking about. Cornell is much easier to get into than Westpoint(no offense Nard Dog).
My oldest is interested in the service academy’s. We have the congressional recommendations taken care of. I’m going to take him to tour all of them in the next year.
I have mixed feelings.
