Wondering how many students the Naval Academy admits every year? Trying to gauge how tough the competition really is.
The United States Naval Academy admits approximately 1,200 students annually. This is out of an applicant pool that typically involves more than 16,000 potential students each year. The acceptance rate hovers around 8-9%, making it highly competitive. Please keep in mind, applicants must not only meet rigorous academic standards but also complete a physical fitness assessment, secure a nomination (typically from a Member of Congress), and meet certain moral, physical, and leadership requirements. This all contributes to the selectivity of the admissions process at the Naval Academy.
