<p>Just my opinion, since none of us really know exactly how the admissions board makes their decisions, but I would think if a person was a recruited athelete AND met all of the high standards for admission they would be a lock shoe in to get appointed. Now if they are down on their academics or ACT/SAT they usually will be sent to NAPS and their admission statistics don’t count when they get to the Academy since they are not coming out of high school.</p>
