Does anyone know what the yield (percentage of candidates admitted who actually accept) is at the Naval Academy?
In previous years, those numbers have been available, but I didn't find those for 2013 in the current USNA catalog. Here were numbers posted in March 2009 for the Class of 2012:
Class of 2012
Applicants and Nominees
Applicants (includes nominees).............10,960
Number of applicants with an
official nomination............................. 3,838 (35 % nominated; 65 % rejected; 7122 rejected)
Nominees qualified scholastically,
medically and in physical aptitude..... 2,196 (57 % fully qualified; 43 % disqualified; 1642 disqualified)
Offers of admission................................ 1,537 (70 % offers made; 30 % rejected/NAPS/NAFP; 659 rejected/NAPS/NAFP)
Admitted.......................................... ..... 1,261 (82 % accepted offer; 18 % rejected offer)
Overall:
35 % out of 10960 applicants nominated; 65 % eliminated in total
20 % out of 10960 applicants are fully qualified; 80 % eliminated in total
14 % out of 10960 applicants are offered admission; 86 % eliminated in total
11.5 % out of 10960 applicants admitted; 88.5 % eliminated in total
I believe "applicants" include those who don't get candidate numbers as well as those who never complete a single piece of their application. That is why I tell my candidates that merely completing everything ups your odds quite a bit.
Of the almost 2200 candidates are 3Q'd with a nomination, approx 1500 receive appointment? WOW, son's odds are looking better now.
Of the 700-ish qualified but not offered appointment, how many are offered NAPS?
So, the remainder would be declined.
Of the 1500 appointed, about 270 (18%) decline? This is a higher number than I expected. I wonder how many of those who decline are accepting appointment at another SA?
Personally, I find this number of interest as our son is contemplating NROTC vs. USNA.
For the sake of discussion...my husband and I have been speculating that a fair number of the 18% of candidates that decline their appointments were possibly "wooed" away by other schools because of Navy's delay in notification. Even Navy's application deadline of March 1st is late. There seemed to be a surge of activity followed by a long unexplained wait period...

I know my son would drop everything to head off to the Academy if he got the call, no matter when it came. We've discussed that if he was accepted to a university for NROTC (his back up plan) and we'd already paid deposits for any of it, we (his parents) would gladly forfeit all of it for him to have the opportunity to attend the Academy.
I've been searching for this! If I'm understanding correctly:

That would leave the final (small) number who decline for varied reasons. Personally, I find this number of interest as our son is contemplating NROTC vs. USNA.
