I got a nomination for a service academy that I did not apply to

So I just received a nomination for USMA, but I did not apply to that academy. I have only applied to USNA. Is there a way that this can be fixed or am I stuck with that nomination?

Contact the office of the senator or congressman that nominated you and ask the person in charge of nominations about this. I had the same happen to me.

Were you able to change it to the academy of your choice?

Were you able to change it to the academy of your choice?

I was, but I think I was a special case given that it was a mistake rather than intentional.

I agree with calling but changing it might not work out. In the meantime, while pursuing that avenue, it's not too late to submit an application to USMA.

This happened to my DS too. He interviewed with the MOC panel and emphasized he wanted USNA as #1.

DS got called out of class and received a phone call from the congressman advising he got USMA. DS on the spot asked the rep if it could be changed to USNA. The congressman replied he would look into it.

A few days later a press release announced the list of nominees and DS was switched to USNA.

That happened to my son. The letter from the MOC indicated an academy that he hadn't applied to, so he contact them. He found out it was just a typo on the letter and the nominations had been submitted to the correct academies.
