You mean they use a "Sorting Hat?"I was told by an insider its actually alot like harry potter. When they find out what house they are assigned to. Same as companies for USNA
Company assignments are determined by factors such as gender, race, prior-E, NAPS, recruited athlete, home state, and international status - probably other factors as well (legacy? height? CFA test scores? SATs/ACTs?). The idea is not necessarily to homogenize platoons and companies because that's just not possible. Rather it's to give each platoon and company a broad representation of individuals. Lots of plebes have never been out of their home states, much less met someone from Alabama or Alaska or Guam or who's been in the Fleet for two years already.

Just genuinely curious about this one, as the title implies. I was also wondering how they "sort" plebes. I would imagine it is based off of performance during Plebe Summer or some other system whereby they sort you after they get a chance to see how you perform... Any thoughts? Hope this thread doesn't exist, but if it does please feel free to lock this one!
As always, thanks!
How do you get into the group?My DS is in 30th Company. Someone from USNA class of 2019 Facebook page messaged him and told him. Apparently some of the kids on that Facebook group has the list. DS is part of this closed group and can see who's in it. Oh lord...here comes the flood of messages asking for the company...lol.
Word of caution-this is not an officially endorsed USNA group with vetting procedures in place. The upper class can infiltrate these plebe only groups. They like to "check out" the incoming plebes for "helpful" information. It's a lot like the Miranda warning says-anything you say can and will be used against you. In other words, may be a good place to get info but probably not a good place to "expose" any Achilles heel.Your DS/DD has to request. No parents allowed. Just the current plebes. https://www.facebook.com/groups/670788733021160/
