contacting for nominations
- Thread starter NamD
- Start date
Dave,
Each MOC (member of congress) has an application that you'll fill out, and most have different deadlines. For example, my congressman's application for a nomination was due November 15th, by my senators both had their due dates November 30th. They will contact you if they perform interviews: only my congressman interviewed me b/c the senators in my state don't do interviews period. Other states have MOCs who select people to interview, based on potential from the application.
Hope that answers your question!

Please, do not "call them up and ask for an interview." Do your homework and find out the process for each MOC. When you go to the various websites, look for links that say something like students, constituent services, or service academies. Those will take you to the appropriate steps to follow. You need to wait until the class of 2015 has been named, so the advice to wait til summer is spot on. Good luck!
Should help. Some FFR are familiar with the local nomination process. If they interview you for West Point, FFR interview will be similiar to the interview for your nomination.
I am a FFR and when I interview candidates I give them some pointers.
The interview questions (for nomination) are pretty stright forward
