I'm truly surprised that that number isn't higher for a Senator, especially in what is supposed to be a very competitive state.I don't really know about Representative Delaney, but it's pretty competitive to get a nomination in Maryland. USNA is the most popular for Maryland students so it is the most competitive. According to Senator Mikulski, about 300 students applied for her nomination to an academy.
senators usually from 250-300. By far USNA is the most competitive, but keep in mind cardin and mikulski's nominations will knock out a total of 20 from each academy slot given your congressman doesn't double nominate, which most in md dont.
Sorry to send a contrary message. Not intending to add confusion re double nomination, but DD got nom from Sen Mikulski in November. DD got a letter 1-2 wks ago from Cardin saying she would have gotten nom but b/c she got nom from Mikulski she wouldn't get Cardin too. Same info confirmed from congresswoman- DD would have gotten nom but they weren't going to double nom. Not saying it doesn't happen. Just DD's experience, which seems to be consistent with previous post about double nom in MD. We can debate merits of lack of consistency for nom process between states and benefits of multiple noms, but there are already threads covering those. Best of luck to all waiting on BFE!

Yea, good point.
What we were told relates to USNA nomination in MD. That extended to both Senators working together and each working with Congressional reps to ensure no double nomination.
Am aware of multiple nominations to multiple different SAs even from one MOC in MD (ie MOC nominating kid to two different SAs). Told its infrequent but no experience or insight to know how infrequent.
All a bit of a black box.
