<p>Where would USMA fall in this ranking??? :)</p>

3

<p>It's not a real school. ;)</p>

4

<p>They haven't learned how to spell ... B-E-E-R ... yet. That's a senior level course at the Pont.</p>

5

<p>"Pont"? ;)</p>

<p>Those upperclassmen sure can rattle ya, eh? :D</p>

<p>Well, according to Princeton Review, USMA isn't on the top ten "Stone Cold Sober List." It's interesting that USNA ranks highest among service academies on the list too. Hmmm, wonder what methodology researchers used to compile the list, e.g., looking for people in uniform at happy hour, wild parties, liquor sales in New London, etc. And on which list would USMMA be??? :)</p>

<p>p.s. We know someone at Wellesley and she did some hard core partying in high school...</p>

<p>NAVAL ACADEMY COLLEGE RANKINGS ANNOUNCED</p>

<p>U.S. News and World Report
NAVAL ACADEMY COLLEGE RANKINGS ANNOUNCED</p>

<p>ANNAPOLIS, Md.— The U.S. Naval Academy has been ranked the No. 3 Best Undergraduate Engineering program in U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges."</p>

<p>The Naval Academy was also ranked No. 4 Best Aerospace Engineering Program; No. 9 Best Mechanical Engineering Program; and No. 6 Best Electrical Engineering Program. U.S. News & World Report bases their rankings upon the judgments of deans and senior faculty familiar with the specific programs. </p>

<p>Academic Dean William C. Miller said, “We are pleased that U.S. News and World Report has confirmed the Naval Academy's reputation as an excellent engineering school. However, the U.S. Naval Academy is first and foremost a leadership school, preparing young men and women for positions of responsibility in the Navy and Marine Corps. Midshipmen acquire an excellent foundation in math, science and engineering along the way, but every graduate must be prepared to take his or her place among the future leaders of the sea services."</p>

Reckon they don't issue senses of humor at USMA. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>The engineering rankings were among schools with a B.S. terminal degree.</p>

12

<p>GenC's just stickin' up for his school - he gave me a good laugh. All in good fun.</p>

13

<p>You get my pont.</p>

<p>;-)</p>

14

<p>btw, general ... lest you've not heard, Bud Shuster resigned from Congress in 2001. Bill is running for his 4th term. Both good men! </p>

<p>And lot's of great kids in #9. Must tell you though, mine is the top candidate, in my house. Here's hoping.</p>

<p>Keep listening to your news, and keep your cannon ponted at me, not mine.</p>

<p>;-)</p>

15

<p>Shoot, I’ve gotten my Shuster’s mixed up! Darn Google!
Bud Shuster was the one who was caught by the media crawling out the back seat onto the ground from his lobbyist girlfriend’s Jeep Cherokee and Bill is the former USED CAR SALESMAN.
Groundhog, as much bad scoop as you put out on this forum I would swear you are a used boat dealer. You shouldn’t have a worry in the world. I’m positive YOU two will be nominated and selected for a position in the Coast Guard Auxiliary.</p>

16

<p>Now that's funny! Really.</p>

<p>Heck, I thought being a car dealer was a prereq to entering politics ... </p>

<p>Yea, Bud did not end well, but he did do alot of good. Bill's doing well, imo. </p>

<p>Cmon down sometime and I'll give you a ride on my yacht and buy you a cool one.</p>

17

<p>Man, this thread has spun completely off into the Twilight Zone.... :confused:</p>

18

<p>Yea, I'm lost....is it just me? lol</p>

19

<p>I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's lost in here. ;)</p>

<p>I could be wrong (frequently wrong, never in doubt!), but didn't the U.S. Military Academy rank No. 2 as Best Undergraduate Engineering program in USN&W?</p>
