[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One quirk with Service Academies is that a big chunk of every incoming class is filled with legacies - either a parent or grandparent graduated from one of the Academies. So it's already sort of an insular world and many of these legacies have been groomed since birth to be a stand out applicant. [b]Children of Academy graduates get preferential treatment in the application process (e.g., they don't need a Congressional nomination). [/b] It would be interesting to know the acceptance rates of legacies vs. completely unconnected kids who go through the Congressional process.[/quote] Children of active duty service members get the same treatment (and service members who died in service or who are mia). [/quote] DP and to be clear, they also need the congressional nomination .[/quote] No they don't https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Apply/Nomination-Sources.php[/quote]
