This is some info from my area and the breakdown. In the next few weeks, most MOC will have made selection for nominations to SA. And must be reported by the end of January 2014.
The dust on the new 113th Congressional Districts has seemed to settle. More specifically, Orange County District numbers have dropped from 9 to 7. One of these is a New District, Congressman Alan Lowenthal, CA 47 which covers Long Beach and the Catalina Islands.
In my summer 2013 Admissions Report, I mentioned that 401 young men and women, whose home of record is in Orange County, opened a file for the Class of 2017. The number of Orange County applicants that received and accepted an “Offer of Admission” was seventeen. One of our nine districts did not have any qualified applicants.
Numbers for the Class of 2018 applicants from Orange County is: 231.
Provided in the table following is a break-out of the candidates by “Candidate Potential.” This is a snap-shoot in time as, the individual “Candidates Potential” can go up or down based on file data, i.e., SAT/ACT scores, Medical Examination status, Candidate Fitness Assessment scores, file completion, college students have unacceptable grades, etc.

Admissible, Qualified, Competitive: Are indicators of the candidate’s potential. But, does not mean at this point in the admission process that they will receive an “Offer of Admission.”
Disqualified: Relates to results of the candidates medical examination.
Risk: There are select issues in the candidates file, typically SAT/ACT scores.
Undetermined: A candidate opened a file, but did not include critical information like SAT/ACT scores, etc.
USMA Screened: Main reason is non-competitive SAT/ACT scores. More specifically a candidate cannot raise their SAT/ACT scores to a competitive range within the admission cycle. Typically SAT’s are in the low 500/s per test event and lower. ACT’s are similar with scores in the low 20’s, high teens per test event.
USMA Closed: On Monday, 18 Nov ’13, I was at Northwestern Preparatory School and had a chance to talk with COL McDonald. This year I was alerted to the fact that the Academy would close files of candidates who received their 2nd Step Kit in July thru EOM September who have little to no file completion. These candidates were notified via letter that unless they made a marked improvement in file completion by EOM Oct, their files would be closed. They were closed on 1 Nov ’13.
Some data on “Letter of Assurances (LOA)”; “Letter of Encouragement (LOE)” and Recruited Athletes.
Letters of Assurance: 5
Recruited Athletes: 2
Candidates: 3
Letters of Encouragement: 7
“Offers of Admission” for the Class of 2018 will start being mailed out in mid-to late January ’14. The target class size for the Class of 2018 is 1,200 New Cadets.
