<p>Hulk,
I don’t know where you get this information but it is not accurate. My son is the first in our family, on either side, to attend West Point. Also, there are many of his classmates that are the first in their families to attend. So no nepotism in our case. Yes it helps if one of your parents or grandparents attended, but I bet that is the same for many top colleges including VMI.</p>
<p>Hmmmmm…don’t you need excellent grades and recommendations to get into Harvard, Yale, etc? Seems to me there is nothing wrong with West Point requiring these too. </p>
<p>You are entitled to your opinion but you might want to get some facts before you post that opinion as a fact.</p>
