How much more selective is usna than usafa and usma
Are you sure about this? Google says that USNA is most selective followed by USMA and USAFA is the least selective of the three.It's less selective than USAFA, and slightly more selective than USMA.
For my MOC, when you apply for a nomination from him, you have to rank which service academies you want to go to more. The selectivity of the service academy could impact the OP's ranking of them. If getting a nomination to USMA gives him a 90% chance of getting in while getting a nomination to USNA gives him a 10% chance of getting in because it is more selective, the OP might decide to rank USMA as his number 1 even if he would rather go to USNA. I'm not sure if that is his actual reason for asking, but I was actually pretty curious about this myself for the reason I mentioned.So your intent is to only apply to the one which is most/least 'selective'? As someone mentioned above, I also am curious why you are asking. Selectivity can be measured in several different (often arbitrary) ways.
