For the USNA class of 2015, does anyone have any number of application so far ???
At the recent candidate weekend the number 13,000 was thrown out.
Not really. The only ones 'spots' that are being 'filled' now are a few of the very most competitive whom they are absolutely sure will be in the top of the 1300 of those who are finally admitted.That is why they recommend to get your app in early, because by the first review board, they are looking for 1300-some spots to fill, as opposed to getting your app in by December, when they are then looking for a substantially smaller number to fill.
hey I'm applying to the USNA and I was just wondering what my chances were up against these 13K+ candidates. All this talk of LOA's was making me a little discouraged since I haven't heard anything back yet, but last time I checked I was medically qualified by DODMERB.

Hi,
At the recent candidate weekend the number 13,000 was thrown out.
My family was at a Navy League dinner in Cincinnati, OH on 18OCT10 where Vice Admiral Michael H. Miller, the Naval Academy Superintendent, was the guest speaker. He said over 18,000 applied this year.
I think the current economy condition, high unemployment rate, uncertainty of future etc...has something to do with the larger number of application this year. Get in to one of SAs ,get free education in one of the best schools of the country, 100% have a job after graduation,etc... are the major reasons why so many kids try to get in the SAs.
As a parent, beside serving our beloved country, I want my son to have a "worry free" future ,no worry about job, about lay off at least for the next 24 years of his life.
