DW and I attended a banquet honoring the Class of 2019 USNA appointees from our state. In addition, the top ranked Firstie from our state was honored with a sword. The Firstie that received the sword had a top resume including 4.0 GPA, a National STEM award in their major, and other leadership and service accomplishments at USNA. What surprised me a bit was their class ranking/OOM. Mid was in the mid to lower thirtys in the class. I understood their are typically ten or so 4.0 perfect GPAs per class. How is it that the Mid was ranked so much lower? It is certainly an honor to graduate with distinction, but how did so many other Mids pass this 4.0 Mid in OOM.
