[quote=Anonymous]A third or more of the incoming class are recruited D1 athletes. They bring the average GPAs and SATs down considerably. There is also a standing allotment for prior enlisted. I have nothing but the utmost respect for those men and women but there stats are usually well below your average incoming plebe. A third category involves USMA prep school kids. Some are members of the other aforementioned groups. Still many are members of URM who did not have the stats of the “direct admits” but who showed promise so much so that the Army was willing to send them to a 1 year prep school to get them academically ready. All 3 categories of these young men and women drag down the average stats. The Army makes up for it by making sure anyone not in any of these categories is a super high stat kid. The ones I know who were admitted also got into the Ivys, Top Tens and NESCACs.[/quote]
