I know so many people who go to Marquette. Seems like some transfer. Marquette also seemed to let anyone in last year, plus even if you don't get straight-out accepted, you could still get in by taking some summer crap. I know West Point and Air Force kids too, they're insane though. The problem with schools like the academies are that there is such competetion for them. It is as much about who you know, as it is what you can do. I have heard nothing bad about U of Illinois, but I won't lie, Michigan State is awesome.
