<p>Thanks for the replies.</p>
<p>I was thinking the acceptance rate among NASS alum would likely be at least twice that of the general populace…as Mombee said, there has already been a major culling of applicants at that point.</p>
<p>I would not be shocked to hear that NASS alum have as high as a 40% acceptance rate, if it is true that a fairly high percentage of NASS alum drop out of the process after NASS. Fewer marginally motivated candidates applying would imply a higher acceptance rate, all else being equal (this assumes that those dropping out and those staying the course are doing so for the “right” reasons).</p>
<p>I continue to hear from folks who have experienced multiple SA summer sessions that NASS tends to be the most “intense”. Perhaps USNA is utilizing the summer session as more of a screening tool than even the other SAs?</p>
