[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something about the selectivity numbers- it's very hard to get Congressional letters of recommendation. And you can't have a completed application without that. So if you only use the completed application numbers, it doesn't show the kids who tried and failed to get congressional letters. It would show a high acceptance rate that is also artificial.[/quote] This isn't exactly true, either. Children of certain servicemembers, for example, do not require congressional appointments (except for the USMMA). The USCGA doesn't require appointments at all.[/quote] Those exceptions don't make the statement false. Most applicants can't get a presidential appointment and have to compete for a very limited number of congressional appointments [/quote]
