| Well, the acceptance rate of NWP preppies is about 85% (roughly). The Falcon Foundation provided $4,500 to me and gave me a list of 5 schools to choose from. I didn't apply to the Foundation, it's offered to 100 kids in the US. I don't know about the Navy Foundation or anything about Army. I don't know about being medically or physically qualified, but after going to NWP, you definitely prepared physically and mentally for the Academy. you find out the medical qualifications during the military physical part of the academy application.
As for who got in and who didn't get in, most of the free agents got in. About 5-10 kids got into another academy, but not their first choice. (People who wanted Air Force and went Navy or Army, vice versa)
People I know who didn't get in were because they a) didn't complete the application on time, b) didn't try at NWP or c) they failed the medical.
As long as you try your hardest, and the Durbecks see it, they will write you a glowing recommendation, which the Academies use as a major deciding factor. |
