McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958.what was his class standing?
United States Naval Academy.
He went to the Naval Academy. If you want to compare the Naval Academy to Harvard, the average SAT score for incoming students at Harvard is 1500, the average at the Naval Academy is 1200. The Naval Academy suggests you be in the top 20% of your high school class, Harvard requires a higher high school class ranking. Students at the Naval Academy are required to get a nomination from their congressman, senator, or the Vice President. A nomination is required to receive an appointment. It is easier for connected students to obtain appointments. In John McCain's case, his father was high ranking and connected, which allowed John McCain to receive an appointment without difficulty. The Navy pays the full tuition and Naval Academy students also enjoy active duty benefits and pay. McCain will not release his grades, but the school records indicate he ranked near the bottom of his class. Rankings are calculated based on academics and leadership skills. McCain did poorly in both areas. McCain had a reputation for ignoring the rules, disregarding authority, and being a poor example to the other men. He ranked #894 of 899 according to: http://www.thehazefilter.com/archives/2008/01/27-week/ So, if you want to look at it as a percentage (894/899) * 100 = 99.44 In other words, 99.44% of the class was smarter than he was.
