<p>I am curious how you would even know that statistic as my son was never asked by USNA where else he had applied nor where he was accepted. He made a decision at the beginning of the application process that he did not divulge that information to any school who asked. I seriously doubt that Stanford or the other 6 schools he was accepted to let USNA know that they lost the candidate to USNA since they would have had no way of knowing either. This practice was standard at our high school although many did divulge their acceptance on the form that was sent to the schools that they were declining.</p>
<p>rjrzoom is correct on the applied to when they in fact never did. Know of one kid who was “wait listed” at a school that he did not ever finish their application nor ever had his school transcripts sent to. This is also a school that is considered one of the top LAC’s. (little Ivies if you will)</p>
