<p>Because the school is smaller than someplace like Annapolis, there is much greater opportunity of getting the position that the student really wants. For instance, if a student wants to be a navy pilot, he can go to Annapolis, and because of such a large number of students, with only a certain number of billets for navy flying, it’s very difficult to get it. While at KP there are fewer students wanting the billets, so they, most of the time, get exactly what they wanted. The navy recognizes both schools as excellent.</p>
<p>I know of a KP grad who all his relatives graduated from Annapolis and are in the navy. He deliberately chose to come to KP instead, because he had almost a 100% chance of getting in as a navy pilot. That is what he is doing today.</p>
<p>We watch the seniors having a hard time deciding what to do, because there are too many opportunities. That’s so different than many other schools. KP is one of the best kept national secrets.</p>
