I have had the privilege of having 3 Sons attend The United States Air Force Academy. USAFA, West Point, Annapolis and Coast Guard Academies all are rated TOP 25 College level in America with USC, Michigan, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia and more. In order to get nominated you must find a Congressman, Senator or President to get a nomination. Usually there are over 10,000 applicants for the usual 1,000 open positions. The statistics are staggering. Number of applicants: 11,599
Number of qualified candidates: 3,279
Acceptance rate: 13%
Average high school GPA: 3.149
Average SAT scores: 671 for evidence-based reading and writing, 696 for mathematics
Average ACT scores: 31.5 for English, 31.6 for reading, 30.3 for mathematics, and 30.7 for science reasoning
Percentage of admitted applicants in the top 10% of graduating class: 52.8%
Percentage of admitted applicants in the top 20% of graduating class: 74.2%
Percentage of admitted applicants in the top 25% of graduating class: 81.1%
Even after that execution of admittance their is still 4 years of education and a contract to serve in the military for 5 years. All do not make the cut. In fact in the 1st 30-120 days over 100 new 4 th degree or plebes drop out or are terminated for lack of performance, academics or various factors. Should you ever get the chance to encourage a young woman or young man to enter a military academy please do so. That world is not only college but a determining factor in their roll in life as a US Citizen and fine role model for all America. God Bless all of them for Applying, pursuing and making America a better place to live safely .
