<p>I agree. Questionable anecdotal statement, at best. The Academy keeps statistics on everything. I am sure they know the academic LOA success rate as compared to the regular admissions. I would argue that the possible decreased commitment by someone who is academically recruited would be outweighed by their increased academic preparedness. The Academy knows what they are getting and I would also argue that a much higher graduation rate than 84.5% would not be desired.</p>
