I posted my personal statistics earlier, but Det 090 here at Colorado State University/University of Northern Colorado is sending 29/36 and possibly 30/36 depending on if one cadet gets his medical paperwork worked out.
Hopkins?

My class got extremely lucky. Only 5 cadets out of about 45 were told they did not get EAs. I feel extremely blessed to be able to go to Field Training because I was one of the cadets that made it. From what I've seen from other Dets it seems like around 90% got EAs from each Detachment. Does anyone know why the acceptance rate for EAs was so high? I still can't figure it out. Mind = blown.
Also, has anyone heard if they expect the washout rate at Field Training to be high.

The acceptance rate was so high because the number of applicants was so low. They only took an extra 100 over last year, but either because of what the Commanders told their marginal kids, or the lack of scholarships, or because the kids could see the writing on the wall, very few stayed in, so almost everyone who kept at it made it.
I would think FT will be more or less the same as in years past, come in as fit as you can be, study hard, and do what you are supposed to do and you will be fine.

Moosetache is correct. AFROTC only increased enrollment size by 100 cadets over last yr., however this yr the pool was much smaller.
They are also correct regarding FT. Busting it usually is rare, I can't recall the amount of days, but typically turnbacks have to do with medical issues. You are only allowed to miss X days, anything above it becomes an issue. This is a big reason they make sure you have both the H1N1 and menoccocal (sp?) shot. Both of those conditions can spread like wildfire at Maxwell.
When DS went in 10, they had about 8 people turnback, but they were all medical. It may sound like a lot, but realistically it is a very, very, very tiny %.
One thing to remember is that sealed envelope must remain sealed, you cannot open it. I think that was the hardest part for our DS, just sitting there looking at it for @6 weeks until he went. Inside it is your official rec.
One other thing to stop the question if the Max you are in has anything to do with how you rack and stack, i.e. 1 -6 . It doesn't! It just has everything to do with getting one in. For example, Max 6 ends the latest, thus, many of the cadets that have school start up dates of 9/1 are able to go, just like Max 1 is early and if your school doesn't end early enough than you would not be an ideal candidate. From there they disperse everyone to have a diversified mix.
