which of the 3 main service academies is the toughest to get in overall? Be honest.

<p>Oh, that's easy!</p>

<p>Service Academy over any NON-Service Academy, ANY day! :D</p>

<p>It's tough for a parent to choose - especially to show any preference when there are twins involved. So, if everybody here keeps it a big secret ;), I have to say that I agree with Zaphod. I'd root for USMA over Illinois and any service academy over any school that is not USMA or Illinois.</p>
