OK this info is more "official"...apparently the Germany kids are from service families etc. Also I couldn't determine exactly if Jesse, Kyle, or Chris were boys or girls

U.S. cadets hail from 39 states and with those living abroad coming from Puerto Rico, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Additionally, there are four international cadets who are sponsored by the United Arab Emirates, Marshall Islands, Romania, and Antiqua. These will be the first representatives of the UAE and Marshall Islands to join the Corps of Cadets.
74% of the Class intends to major in engineering, math or science.
30% are female and 18% are from underrepresented racial groups.
Over 50% come from families whose immediate members are in or were in a branch of the U.S. military.
Overall, the SAT average for the class is 1275 (critical reading and math).
3345 students submitted an application; 341 were offered appointments and 275 indviduals will swear-in on R-Day.

Also take note why the process was so competitive this year...less than 10% of the applicants were offered appointments with an 80% yield rate(something most colleges would die for).

FYI - 341 appointments offered, from 3345 applicants is not less than 10%, it is actually a little higher than 10%.

Oop 10.2% sorry I transposed numbers...but that's still very selective...

Hey Boss, do you know the percentages at the other academies?

Bossf51

No I haven't seen them as yet.
