The Class of 2023 began move-in on campus in mid-August. Regimental Preparatory Training began on August 15. Independent (non-regimental) students reported on August 23. Convocation was held on Monday, August 26 and first semester classes started the following day.<\/p>\n
Ninety percent of new students are first-time freshmen; 24% were Scouts (8% Eagle or Gold Award); 7% were in Boys State or Girls State; 22% were members of the National Honor Society; 78% were varsity letter winners (55% team captains); 31% served as class, student government, or club officer; and 3% serve in the National Guard, Reserves or are veterans. Average SAT scores were: Verbal 553 and Math 557, with an average total of 1,110, and average ACT composite scores of 24.<\/p>\n
Admissions and Enrollment Management Director Kelly Gualtieri says that successful recruitment of students for the Class of 2023 was due, in large part, because of these factors: having a full admissions staff; an emphasis on recruitment activities; historical graduate placement rates; and alumni assistance in recruiting and enrolling young men and women across the United States.<\/p>\n
