<p>Navy18, don’t fall into the “hype trap”, take a look at the class profile for the past few years and see how you match up, the profile is about the best and most objective piece of data you can easily get your hands on to contrast your scholastic achievements with. </p>
<p>As far as athletes go, if every kid that showed up this summer was a super star athlete I would hazard a guess more than ~40% would have passed the PRT</p>

<p>As others have said the only way you will ever find out if you can get in is by applying, if the effort necessary is worth it to you, even if you only have a 1 in 10 shot at it, why not apply and find out. </p>
<p>There are other factors that are completely outside your control; for example the number of applicants from your district etc. In our region the Naval Academy is very competitive, whereas West Point and the Air Force Academy typically has about half to a third the number of nominees. </p>
<p>Concentrate on what is within your control and try and put the best package possible in front of the admissions board. </p>
<p>If you are a well rounded applicant, with good SAT scores, good grades and some decent EC’s, sports etc, you can do it. You may not get an LOA, but who cares if you are still a member of the incoming class. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
