They might both get a person a 4 year degree which helps check a box on an app, but I don't think they will help stand out in an app.

Military academies are great. I would say however that a degree from a state school or other "once great" institutions have been watered down immensely due to government programs and the need for everyone to have a degree.

If you have any ambitions outside of aviation, my suggestion is to put a little more effort into earning an accredited degree that offers some utility outside of just "checking the box". Why? Because an aviation degree and $3.99 gets you a Happy Meal nowadays! Although a bachelors degree in just about any major, will get you accepted into an online MBA program.
