[quote=Anonymous]Another follow-up article from a USNA professor in today's Washington Post, with criticism on several issues beyond just fudging the admissions statistics -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/college-inc/post/naval-academy-professor-a-veneer-of-selectivity/2011/12/29/gIQA9droQP_blog.html?wprss=college-inc [quote]It’s still unclear what our true selectivity is, because though only about 5,700 applications (out of more than 19,000 claimed) go to the Admissions Board, I know from my own time on the Board that not all of these are complete either. More relevant may be the fact that about 1,900 applicants are deemed “fully qualified,” and about 1,500 are accepted. It’s not hard to be “fully qualified.” All it requires is SAT scores above 600, a B average from an undemanding high school, and some pushups. [u]So our true acceptance rate may be over 50 percent.[/u][/quote][/quote]
