USMAPS Congressional Nomination

Not necessarily. There are a number of aspects to look at this. Yes, USMAPS need a NOM to enter WP just like you. NOMs are given out to those who (with this in mind) will finish and graduate at a SA. This is why you find the best academic resumes win NOMs. I don't nor do you know how well the MAPS student finished. They do have to meet academic expectations. In others words its not a given. Your NOM source could have two slates available. Just stay the course. If you are not selected, what is your Plan B and continue to work it.

Hello all, sorry for posting on an older thread but I have a question pertaining to the prep school and nominations. A few days ago my congressman released his slate of nominations to the press. On the slate was a student who currently attends the prep school. Does that mean this person is automatically going to win the slate?

Thanks!

My understanding is that they do need a nomination, but they don't need a principal nomination, so they wouldn't, necessarily, get the P-Nom, which means it would still be open to fill.

How did you find out or where can I look to find the slate list for FL-9, if you know....

My congressman annually releases his slates. Try checking your representative's website and under the newsroom tab.
 
Let me attempt some clarity to the subject. There are two avenues here:

1. USMAPS-Is a prep school located near WP. You must be deemed academically disqualified and need a NOM. Those who attend must be recommended by an RC and/or athletic director. MAPS has a purpose to polish up recruited athletes, prior enlisted, underserved minorities. No guarantee you'll win an appointment after completing the program and you'll need another NOM.

2.Civilian Prep-These cottage industry schools come in a wide spectrum. You'll need to do research to find the best fit. There are two types of students "sponsored" and "free agent". Sponsored students are those who have received an AoG scholarship to attend. "Free agent" students are privately paying their way, however, there are scholarships and grants to assist. There is no guarantee of winning an appointment and you will need another NOM. Sponsored students are recognized from a recommendation though their RC.

Both groups need to have their ACT/SAT scores brought up, time management skills, study skills sharpened.

I hope this helps
