[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're not actually that selective. They juice their "acceptance rates" by including mountains of incomplete applications. A kid who's at least a reasonably good student and at least a reasonably good athlete who completes his application and doesn't get medically DQ'd is well more likely than not to be admitted to any of the service academies.[/quote] +1 they count anyone who starts the process as an applicant, even if they aren't close to finishing the process to be actually considered. Many kids do the first step and don't put any more time into it. Taking that out, the service academies would likely be 2x the acceptance rate than the one advertised.[/quote]
