<p>Yeah, I mean, it’s great to have a little bit higher selectivity rate and all (because it appeals to those Ivy League brats who are driven by prestige), but the more selective the institution, the more applicants it draws, and the better candidates you get. </p>
<p>But all in all, it makes it easier for all candidates applying for an Officer position in the Navy or Marine Corps. I remember USNA and NROTC being two separate headaches, and now it should save a lot of families and their candidates a lot of time.</p>
<p>Kudos to Admiral Fowler, I heard he was the spearhead behind this, and he’s got some more tricks up his sleeve (regarding MIDN PE, other requirements) to go in effect pretty soon.</p>
