Class Year Men Women Total
2016 642 185 827
2017 781 237 1018
2018 836 226 1062
2019 849 293 1142
Looking at these numbers, every year a significant number of cadets drop. As a female appointee, it's kind of frightening to see that the number of women dropped from 293 to 185....that's 108/293 original females gone before graduation. USAFA has been my dream for as long as I can remember, but looking at these stats I'm sure it was also the dream of those 108 that dropped. Maybe I'm looking for reassurance or reasons why they left, but does anyone have any comments on this? I'm nervous why so many females don't actually graduate....or maybe I'm just reading this to deep. Thoughts? Thanks
