So, did the USMA tour last week with DD. As it is summer, I had not expected a large crowd. There were about 15 prospective candidates from rising HS juniors and seniors. The Admissions Officer was fantastic. The tour was very expansive as he took us into a number of academic buildings and the cafeteria as well as of course a tour of the grounds. He was a class of 2016 graduate. At the end of the tour, he allowed one on one questions and made it known that there was no rush and ask away. The personal time and the commitment were appreciated. I wonder since it is summer, he was less pressed for time.
What struck me the most is that my DD was the only girl on the tour. Admissions Officer said that this year's entering class is roughly 20% women; his class was 9%. So, based on this, WP seems to be attracting more women, but still lags USNA. Any thoughts?
