USMA Director of Admissions
Congratulations to all the parents of the Class of 2014. Only a few short weeks and your sons and daughters will be graduating and join the Long Gray Line as the newest Old Grads and begin their mission as Leaders of Character in our Army. Equally exciting is the advancement of the plebes to yearlings, the yearlings as they move into the cow class at Affirmation and the rising Firsties as they take the helm as the senior leaders of the Corps of Cadets. Thank you all for your support to our Admissions teams over the years in helping us set up events in your local areas and supporting the future classes entering West Point. On that note, a quick update on the Class of 2018: we expect to have 1,200 new cadets enter with this class on July 2nd, one of the most competitive classes and also one of the most diverse in recent years. We had over 15,000 applications and tendered over 1,400 appointments. Nearly 50% of the class will enter with the designation as a scholar and 25% designated as leaders. In other demographics, over 20% recruited NCAA athletes, 21% women, 12% African Americans, 10% Hispanics, and 7% Regular Army Soldiers. Again—congratulations to the Class of 2014. Go Army!
