Question about Enlisting the way into West Point

When my DS went for his overnight visit to USMA, there was an initial briefing that he attended. They had a current cadet speak to the group. He happened to be prior service and kept talking about how much easier entry into USMA was as an enlisted solider, as he said there was so much less competition of getting into the academy for enlisted who had been a good student in high school. I somewhat cringed when I heard this, but now can see this could be the case. Now naturally, for this to work, you have to be a really sharp soldier to get your commander's recommendation.
