Here are some statistic:
USNA of 2015 class size: 1229
Midn from NAPS, NNPP, NAFP, Enlisted: 246 +16+47+25 = 334
Midn from High school + College : 1229-334 =895
Applications:19,145
Acceptance rate for USNA class of 2015 : 895/19,145= 4.67%
Wow !!!!
I don't make the numbers. .
AkiBudo said:This current rate can be compared to the USNA acceptance rate for the last several years which has fallen from 14% to closer to 7%.
I don't know why the other SAs insist on using the faulty standard, especially when using a more realistic standard still yields incredibly competitive numbers.
kpt63 said:Bottom line? All SA's are incredibly competitive no matter how you look at it!
No, USNA does. You've just been shown that they are meaningless.
Incorrect. USNA used to publish the number of qualified candidates. The number of appointments, divided by the number of qualified candidates, yielded something around 14%.
The number today would be not much different, despite what you want you believe.
Despite a literal 60% increase in "applicants" in a 4 year span (19,135 from 12,003), virtually all traditional measures of selectivity have declined significantly which seems to fly in the face of whatCommon sense would say more candidates, more anyone might anticipate. selective. Not so. It's become notably LESS SELECTIVE, at least when putting all candidates and appointees in one, same pool. I'll summarize them later, but for example, in 2011, 78% of the class was in the top 20% vs. 79% in the top 25%. No real big deal. More significant is25% (2015) vs. 16% (2011) scoring below 610 or equivalent. This is a 56% "increase" of appointees scoring below that level.
