Trends in Admission Variables Through the Class of 1991
Abstract
The United States Military Academy uses the Whole Candidate Concept in the selection of candidates for admission. This report contains information, for rapid reference, comparing the pre-USMA performance of members of the Class of 1991 with previous classes in the areas of academics, leadership potential, and physical condition and aptitude. Data displayed in this report were obtained from the following sources: Academic performance: High School Transcripts, American College Tests and College Entrance Examination Board Tests; Physical Performance: Physical Aptitude Exam; and Leadership Potential: An index developed from combining extracurricular and athletic activities with high school faculty evaluation. The mean SAT-Math score (644) for cadets in the Class of 1991 is the highest in the past ten years, and the mean SAT-Verbal score (562) is the fourth highest in the past ten years. Cadet performance in high school and on College Board exams has resulted in a mean CEER score of 609, which is the second highest on record. The academic qualifications of cadets place them in the top 10-15% of college bound high school seniors. The Class of 1991 Physical Aptitude Exam score for men (576) is highest in the last ten years and eleven points higher than the average of the previous nine years. The mean Leadership Potential Score (595) is three points lower than for the Class of 1990, and four points below the average of the previous nine years. The mean Whole Candidate Score (6015) for cadets in the Class of 1991 is twenty points below the high of 6035 set by the Class of 1989, but sixty points higher than the average of the previous nine years.
