It's sort of apples to oranges in a lot of ways, though. They aren't exactly judging by the same criteria. To some extent, of course, but there are other things that come in play with the military academies that don't with Ivy League schools.

Not even close

Harvard had 40,428 applicants last year, and 1,980 were accepted

Mean SAT score was 1510

Wespoint had 12,294 applicants, and 1,210 were admitted

Mean SAT score as 1287

The type of student to get accepted into Ivys they just dont make much of. Ture academic braniacs. Military academies are looking for every smart, but still normal humans
