fully qualified?

Ok so thanks a lot to the moderator for posting those #'s about the c/o 2015.

I understand from simple math that for males the average acceptance rate for fully qualified (i'm medically OK too) is ~49%. However, colleges naturally get more competitive year by year. Also, West Point has cut the class of 2016 to around 1100 cadets (right?), so how much lower do you guys think that number will be?
Also, if the numbers on that linked page only have "admitted" numbers, not "offered an appt" numbers, could that make the percentage larger?

So 49%... larger potentially because it wasn't *offers", just accepted offers, smaller because of a smaller class size, and smaller because of general competitiveness.... What do you guys think?

Seems to me this is like worrying about the length of a gnat's eyelashes. The boys in Vegas don't study the odds this carefully. Just sayin'.

You need to understand that West Point is interested in YOU. They are waiting for you to get a nomination. IF/when you receive one you should call your RC immediately and follow up with your MALO if you are working with one. Good Luck!

what is a MALO? I have a feeling i will probably know what it is but i am not sure. and thanks!
 
There are not many MALOs around anymore as they are IRR officers and many have retired or been deployed in recent years. WP has gone to a volunteer force - the Field Force Representatives - to take the MALOs place.

buff81 that's exactly right. I don't have a MALO near me. I talk to my field force representative.
 
Sorry for the confusion! My bad. Yes - if you are working with a local admissions rep; whether it be a MALO or FFR etc. It's good to contact them as well.
If not, no worries!
