<p>You do have a point. I think it is listed as a third tier college academically. The very few, in the past, Greystone students have simply been thrown in classes with the Schreiner students, who are mostly business majors. Hardly the service academy environment. Greystone’s advertising is actually that they cater to students who don’t want a military environment. Duh?</p>
<p>USNA is not nearly as insistant as USMA that all prep schools be military but JAM does have a point. Coat and tie is not a uniform. I had a student at NMMI a couple of years ago who, to this day, states that he had never before realized how important it was to squeeze a toothpaste tube in a certain manner. And I am beginning to think he is serious.</p>
<p>For quality and cost and being around many others of similiar bend, Marion and New Mexico lead the pack. Their instructors know Academy academics and prepare the students accordingly. That all of WP and the most of any other USNA Prepsters go to these two, speaks a lot for them. Of course USNA sends some athletes in the specialty sports to the 12+ grade ones in order that they might play their sport and not lose a year of eligibility.</p>
