WP,

If you had watched to movie Annapolis, you would know that USNA has 50,000 applicants and that only 1,207 are admitted. That works out to a measly 2.4 percent acceptance rate. :rolleyes:

Actualy, the numbers are in the right ballpark. The number of applicants peaked somewhere between 13K and 14K after 9/11; subsequently they dropped to about 10K.
