Just a bit of background to start off this post...
I currently live in one of the three districts in the U.S. that does not have a sitting congressperson (former congressman recently passed away). While this situation is quite unique, I have been informed by a USMA admissions officer that the staff of said congressman still reserves the right to nominate qualified individuals but has decided to not nominate any candidates during this year's application cycle.
Although a little discouraging, I have continued to forge ahead and apply to every nomination source available, and last week I learned that I will get the opportunity to interview with one of my state's senators. While I am extremely excited about this opportunity, I understand that this means that I get a shot to be 1 of 10 candidates from across my entire state (a very selective group).
Now onto the main point of my post...
In discussions with my FFR, I was told that that West Point can sometimes help candidates "find nominations" for candidates that they are interested in. Since I received an LOA in September and have a very unique and unfortunate congressional nomination situation, I am curious if I should reach out to West Point and see if anything can be done about my predicament?
