<p>definitely what Christcorps said. It’s A LOT less than half. I remember them saying at SLS that only 400 of the 800 candidates at USMA get appointments.
I even met some people at SLS who said they didn’t even want to go to the academy - they were just there 'cause it was a leadership seminar.
i also know a kid who just submitted the preliminary app (like the SLS app) in spring his junior year, forgot about it, then got an LOA in fall.</p>
