Kind of odd question about admissions

The USAFA prep school and scholarships granted through the Falcon Foundation are both ways for candidates who don’t have quite the scores they need to still get into the Academy. That is one common way to prepare athletes who don’t have the academic credentials they need right off the bat. Honestly, I think it’s pretty pointless arguing about who gets in and why. The fact of the matter is, every cadet who actually goes through everything they have to go through to STAY at any of the academies deserves to be there. Some candidates are misjudged and end up getting kicked out when they become cadets. Some leave because this place is just not for them. It’s impossible to pick a perfect class of cadets.
