Default A Percentage Question.

I have a quick question. About how many people receive nominations? And then, how many of them actually receive appointments.

Thanks

~1600 get appointments (but about 1300+ end up accepting) and I think it should be noted that of those with nominations only 2200 are triple Q'd.

I mentioned in another thread that if you are triple Q'd and have a nomination, there's a 78% chance that you'll receive an appointment (based off of last year's stats).

I think I know what you mean Roman, but what does triple qualified mean? Does this refer to the academics, physical fitness, etc.? Thanks

What do you mean by LOA's but NOT LOa's and Nominations? An LOA means LETTER OF ASSURANCE. They are assuring you that you will get an appointment to the academy IF you GET your nomination and you PASS your medical. They won't give an LOA out unless your application is 100% complete; with the exception that you haven't received your Nomination yet and/or haven't finished your medical review yet. So, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get an appointment with an LOA without a nomination. There are a lot of different nominations. And there are even a few unique slots that the academy has; but those count as nominations. So, does that answer the question, or do you need to rephrase it? later...mike....
