Just a quick round-up of the deadlines and status of the nomination process and calendars for the various nominating authorities for USMMA in Northern VA (one of the more competitive areas), in general, deadlines for nominations for the entering Class of 2016 (reports to USMMA in July 2012) are past and the cycle for the entering Class of 2017 is beginning. Now is a great time for prospective candidates to contact the admissions office and schedule campus visits, especially overnight visits which are usually very helpful in exposing the Academy to you and vice versa as you are trying to determine if the USMMA is a good place for you to start pursuing a career. It's also a great time to just get organized and understand the requirements and timing of the various deadlines for the multiple things required to obtain admissions: Congressional Nomination; DoDMERB; CFA; and USMMA Admissions Application (which includes standard test scores, essay, etc.). The cycle for and deadlines for this Congressional Nomination information is from the pertinent portions of their websites and links are included:

Senator Warner:
The deadline for requesting a nomination to the Class of 2016 from Senator Warner was September 30, 2011. As with the nominating authorities below those seeking nominations to the Class of 2017 can start the process next spring. The website has details after you register.

Good luck to all!
 
The "moral" of the above story is -- don't miss your MOC's deadlines . . . and each MOC has different deadlines (and other requirements).
