<p>I really dont care which branch of military I get commisioned to, because serving
your country is most important structure as a soldier</p>
<p>but I do care is academics, Forbes.com suggests West Point tops Harvard, Princeton, etc.
This suggests Naval Academy or Air Force Academy is least likely will top these Ivy League schools, doesn't it? </p>
<p>so which academy is better academically? West Point or Naval Academy</p>
<p>This is laughable. All these places are terrific and absent the disparity you’ve incorrectly perceived. </p>
<p>However, I’d strongly urge you to do your homework about the missions, programs, and cultures of these 3, as they could hardly be more different in many ways. Service takes on many shapes, forms, and avenues.</p>
<p>USNA sister and USMA wife here. Both are fabulous academically. You cannot go wrong. However, there are significant differences (as whistle pig states) both while a student and when commissioned.<br>
For example, USNA has far more civilian professors and is the town is lovely. USMA town is not so appealing but the Hudson Valley is beautiful and it is a short train ride from NYC. USMA grads are more likely to be in harm’s way upon graduation than USNA grads (IMHO).<br>
Service is admirable, but knowing more about what you are signing up for is imperative.</p>
