<p>As a parent of a child who was selected by an SA. It is a very long process and by this time they would be behind the 8 ball, because not only do you need all of that, you need a nomination from the Pres., VP, Sen or Cong.(there are other sources, but those are even more rare…ROTC) Most MOCs by this time have closed their files. Thus, no nom = no appointment.</p>
<p>CC is right, SA’s are very very selective, only about 15% get appointed. The majority of them are high on the gpa/SAT scale. I would say the only reason that he should not is because they are really engineering schools, thus if govt and politics are your thing you will hate it when you are required to take aeronautical engineering all 4 yrs for the USNA or the AFA.</p>
