I don't think Comstock ranks, most Congressmen submit 10 names and the service academies pick from there.

Thank you! I did have both a Presidential and Son of Disabled Vet nom, I was also curious but there's no way for me to get an official answer, so everything I've got is speculation. I know based off an email conversation I had with Major Bulls about a week before my appointment that I was in...

I received my nomination to West Point from Congresswoman Comstock on January 27th. An offer of appointment popped up on my portal three days later on the 30th.

Got it, either way it's relatively unimportant. All that matters is that I'm going to West Point and will begin my career in the Army!

Yeah that's what I'm curious about; I have a Presidential, Son of Disabled Veteran, and Virginia-10 nomination. Unclear on which one I got in with.

Accepted my appointment last night on the portal (still waiting on the BFE)! Does anyone know how to tell which nom you were admitted through? I have a few and am curious which one I was appointed with. Thanks!

Same district as you, I guess we're competing for the same spot. Best of luck, maybe we'll meet in person if we both get it! And if you're a very competitive candidate but you don't get the nomination, there's a chance you'll get an AOG scholarship and go to West Point after a year of prep...

Congratulations! Who did you hear from?

I had my PMS interview last Monday, but my file still has it as "Interview Pending". Is it normal for there to be a processing time this long? I was under the impression that it was an online upload so it would register within a few days. The 2nd board application deadline is approaching quickly...

Congresswoman Comstock (VA-10) said she would be notifying her nominees the first week of January. This winter break is going to be stressful.

Likewise, I heard back from Senator Kaine with a negative response. Hoping I'll get better news from Warner. I have a Presidential and Son of Disabled Veteran nomination, and I asked if that would hinder my chances when I interviewed for Warner. From my understanding, they're trying to get as...

Thanks! Yeah my friend got the nom from Senator Kaine, and yes I did interview for Senator Warner a few weeks ago.

I know Senator Kaine definitely sent out letters for the Navy nominations. I have a close friend who's applying for Navy and he received one last Friday. Likewise, another friend received a rejection letter from Senator Warner for Navy, but that was a while ago and because his SAT scores weren't...

And you had the same test with the book and the glasses? That's a big relief if you did! I thought I'd have to go through the remedial process because of this.

I had my eye exam yesterday and everything went well until the end of the appointment when I was tested for depth perception. I was given a book and glasses and asked to identify the shape which popped out in ten different boxes. I was able to easily identify the first 5, but the remaining 5...

I contacted my MALO and he said that typically West Point has 500-600 Presidential nominations, and like kinnem said, only 100 of those can by appointed. So you still need to be in the top 100 of the Presidential pool or get a Congressional nomination and compete for that appointment. I...

I had the same thing happen to me. I sent an email to the admissions staff asking about it, and they said it does this for everyone's essays. The woman who responded didn't say whether the board sees the actual paragraphs though. I hope when they review the essays they revert back to the...

Thanks for all your replies! Considering the general consensus seems to be to submit the scores, and I was leaning that way before anyway, I've decided to use this score.

I took the CFA this morning, these were my scores. Basketball throw: 62ft Pull-Ups: 15 Shuttle Run: 9.01 secs Sit-Ups: 74 Push-Ups: 71 Mile: 6:28 The CFA is the only thing left (besides the DODMerb) for my application to West Point. I was thinking it'd be best to submit it now, even if my...
