<p>As I posted from the other forum where you also posted this data:</p>
<p>
Be a bit careful with the numbers and assumptions. Your are assuming that all applicants, finished their application, all applicants went on to complete their physicals, do their cfa’s, all applicants went on to apply for a nomination - none of these assumptions are necessarily true. The only information that the Academy gives is the specific profile of
<p>No percentages of acceptances, rejections etc are stated. You really can not give those percentages as you do not have all of the data. No where on the profile does it actually tell you how many applicants “went all the way” through the process.</p>
<p>I can tell you in our area I know of a few students that opened the application for NASS, went to NASS and then chose not to finish the application process. One chose not to complete the physical, chose not to complete the interview nor seek a nomination. Another chose not to seek nominations. Most Universities report the number of applicants as those who opened files, not those who saw the process to the end. You have no way of knowing if that is the case or not.</p>
<p>I also was told that NROTC apps were automatically being considered for USNA. That alone tells you of the 16000, not necessarily all are really considering USNA nor have all sought a nomination.

<p>Your point may be well intended but is not necessarily accurate. The nomination process may not be any different than in previous years due to the fact you do not really know how the “application numbers” are generated.</p>
