Add a other data point. Mom is a University of Buffalo (Erie Ivy League) grad and Pops was USAF E-6 no college.Sample size from one dude and my immediate friend group, but definitely not the case for the upper income, upper tier colleges part. Heck, my dad didn’t even go to college, and my best friend’s parents were two senior enlisted marines. I’m sure there are some commonalities across academy selectees, but these aren’t it.
