Keep in mind that the classes of 2000 and 2001 started in 1996 and 1997 respectively, and those candidates who were actually honorable and interested in serving their country were possibly less likely to apply due to the CIC at the time. Thus, the candidate pool was tilted toward the "free education, five-and-out" contingent.
