Important Updates for Class of 2017 Applicants

[hawk]

If you do actually have to accept the USNA one by March 1, wait until after Feb 26, when USMA will have sent their's out, then accept the USNA one.

Timing will be key on that, as past years it appears that USMA & USNA shared acceptances and did not make offers to those who have accepted other schools.

So be sure of your dates!!!

Also, in many competitive areas the MOC's work together to not duplicate noms, and will also only give a nom to one school. (especially Senate noms)

Hard dilemma, seems like it would be worth the academies attempting to coordinate the dates if possible.

DS in the similar situation had to go with his heart, both on his nom applications and his acceptances.

As a backup, make sure that you are also applying for the ROTC Scholarships. Applying for ROTC will not hurt your academy chances. Many of our candidates accept a ROTC Scholarship and a nomination and withhold a final decision until March or April.
