Performance of USMAPS Graduates at USMAPS, USMA, and as Army Officers

摘要

The purposes of this study were to identify the effect of USMAPS attendance on College Board scores and to determine how well USMAPS graduates perform at the U.S. Military Academy and as Army officers. Data were obtained on members of USMAPS classes as far back as the late 1940's and as current as the USMA Class of 1975. Results indicated the following: (1) USMAPS attendance improved College Board scores; (2) at USMA, Prepsters did less well in academics but at least as well or better than non-Prepsters in leadership ratings; (3) Prepsters had a higher attrition rate than non-Prepsters at USMA; (4) The Adjutant General's input had a higher 'success rate' than the Active Army's; and (5) as Army officers, Prepsters and non-Prepsters performed equally on three performance indices; but on a fourth, retention on active duty, Prepsters had a higher rate.
