New Jersey Noms?

Derrick our DD is at VT, and just hold tight if you want to attend. Nick4060 (I think that is his poster name) attends VT as an AFROTC cadet. He can give you the ins and outs as a cadet there.

VMI and VT cadets are rabid when it comes to defending the best CoC.

Jagabiti,

Congrats, noms from 1 MOC to 2 SAs is rare! If the SAT is an issue use this time to get it up!
 
DS was actually thinking he was going to take the first nomination back! Son was actually taking a final at school today when Holt's office called my son back, apparently Mr. Holt is on his way to Fla. He is very very surprised as he goes to a very very small private HS which doesn't have any sports or NHS so he thought he was well behind all the othe applicants. SAT verbal is not his focus....we'll see, if not this year then next...We wish everyone else good luck. Remember anything can happen and Rep. Holt has been called kids since New Years Eve to give them the news.
 
Senator Application

I'm a NJ 2016 hopeful, and I was looking at the senator nomination applications and on the application it said to only choose one academy. So does that mean that you only have a chance at your second choice if your congressmen nominates you for it?

Thank you.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind if I end up going to VT. I'm planning on an overnight visit sometime in March or April (can't remember the date right now) so it should shed some light on my situation.

I'm not sure if it depends on the senator, but our senators can/will only nominate you to one academy. You pick the academy and leave it up to them to decide whether or not they'll nominate you. Your representative (at least Representative Holt), gives you the option of more than one, but you choose your priority. You can call them and ask them to change what your priority choice is though. So in my case, I applied for a USAFA nomination from Senator Menendez, a USMA nomination from Senator Lautenberg, and nominations to USAFA and USMA from Representative Holt. I haven't heard back from either Senator, but Representative Holt pleasantly surprised me by offering me nominations to both academies.

Both Senator Lautenberg and Senator Menendez use a competitive nomination process. Hope I helped.

I know for a fact that Congressman can nominate a candidate to more than one Academy. Good Luck!
 
in NJ, at least in my situation, candidates could only apply for one nomination. in my case this worked out since i only applied to navy and cg, however, remember you have a shot at 3 moc noms, so you can apply to a different SA for each one if they don't want to nominate for more than one. Also, there is the president and vice president as well.
 
Hopefully everyone will hear about nominations within the next week or two. What districts have heard so far? I believe at this point I have heard that the...
1st, 7nd, 10th, 11th, 12th have been given nominations.
I know District 5 has not been told and I believe District 9 has not.
 
Nothing from NJ09 or Senators...possibly 10 more days of waiting and 4 more days of snow...:eek:
 
For anybody in district 12 who has been waiting for any sign on our portals like me, I got an email from Representative Holt's office stating that nominations were sent out this morning. Now comes the wait for it to show up.
 
My DS received nominations last year from Lautenberg and Congressman Smith to AFA, both at the VERY end of January. I believe Lautenberg's was actually on January 31. Good luck with your wait and outcome!!
 
Thanks for the update. DS got the email from his office last week asking for him to accept both nominations to AFA and USMA. Websites still haven't been updates. DS finally had an interview yesturday for USMA and AFA at his school. He was told from USMA that he was a primary nomination. I asked DS is he said principal and he said that it was a primary. What is that? Anyone know?
 
recieved a nomination to USNA from my NJ representative!
does anyone know if any of the representatives from new jersey choose a principal candidate or if they all just submit a list of 10 names?
My congressman just said that I recieved the nomination - nothing was mentioned about recieving/not recieving a principal nomination
 
MOC

Congratulation!! Can I ask who nominated you?
Thanks
Go Navy!!
