Trends in Admission Variables through the Class of 1981,

Abstract

The United States Military Academy uses the Whole Candidate concept in the selection of candidates for admission. This concept encompasses three board areas: scholastic, leadership potential, and physical condition and aptitude. The entrance scores for each of these areas are compared with previous classes. The American College Testing Program scores were used to admit 367 cadets to the Class of 1981. These scores are included and are shown with the previous five years in which the ACT scores were used. The College Board scores and other admission variables are shown for a ten year period. The PAE scores for the Class of 1981 are shown for male and female cadets separately, since the PAE scale for females is not the same as the scale for males. (Author)
