I just received my fourth nomination from my Senator (the other three are Representative, Presidential, and ROTC) but none are primary nominations. Just wondering how often this happens and how having four nominations plays into the selection process.

I copied this from the sticky Nominations FAQs thread. You're candidate B in this scenario. I'm sure you can make the necessary extrapolations.

... Having multiple MOC noms gives the SA more opportunities to “slot” you and thus to offer you an appointment. Let’s say Candidate A “only” has a nom from her Senator whereas Candidate B has a nom from his Senator, his Rep, and the Pres. If USNA doesn’t slot Candidate A to that Senator, she goes immediately into the national pool. If USNA doesn’t slot Candidate B to his Senator, they can still slot him to his Rep or to the Pres – two more places to fit him before sending him to the national pool. Also, MOC noms in most areas of the country are competitive and getting two [or more] shows you competed well against your peers.
