    Do I qualify for the National Waiting List?

    I recently heard back from my Congressman and found out that I did not receive a nomination to the USNA, but I did to another academy.

    USNA LOA Received, what does it really mean?

    Today I received an LOA (conditional appointment) from Navy’s admissions. When I looked at my applicant portal it appeared that I had unknowingly received a nomination as well. It appears that the only thing I need is to do my DoDMERB. Does an LOA guarantee me a full appointment given I am...

    Hi all. A question regarding congressional nominations: My DD is 1 of 10 nominated by a MOC to USNA. USNA is her top, and she has 2 more nom interviews in the coming weeks. She is unsure if she should say USNA is her top in these next cong interviews because she already got a nom and does...

    Help on Essays

    I'm currently in the process of beginning to write my essays for nomination applications. Are there any specific things I should/shouldn't mention in my essays? I'll also take any other advice anyone has to offer about essays and nomination applications in general.

    Can Congressional/Senatorial nominations be used for multiple Service Academies?

    I am currently applying to West Point but am also considering the Air Force Academy due to its technologically inclined atmosphere. I haven’t gotten any nominations yet, but if I do, can I use them for multiple SA at the same time?

    Secretary Noms and National Pool

    This question may have already been asked, and if so, redirection to the thread would be great, but what is a nomination from the “Secretary of the Navy”? And how does the “national pool” of candidates work?
