On February 20, 2015, the Class of 2019 Appointment thread was at 46 Appointments
On February 20, 2016, (as of 3:30 PM est), the Class of 2020 Appointment thread was at 55 Appointments.
This 2016 Class of 2020 Appointment list is running 17% ahead of last years in terms of Appointments revealed.
FWIW, I personally attribute the difference in an increased number of actual Appointments listed to an increased number of new Service Academy Forum members participating now, than last year. It only took to page 4 in 2015 to get to 46 Appointments. We are on Page 10 right now to get 55 Appointments, meaning (to me) we have a lot more new and old Members hanging around posting, discussing and 'waiting' to add Appointments to the the Class of 2020 List.
