I have had the fortune of receiving both a LOE from West Point and a LOA from USNA. However, this is where I am in a dilemma.
I am a Michigan constituent and I have just recently learned that we Michiganders are only allowed to receive ONE NOMINATION.
Thus, I must decide which SA I want to use my nomination for.
I am leaning towards West Point (as it is my first choice) but am keeping USNA open.
So here is my question, how much of an impact does West Point's LOE have on admissions? I know it is not a guarantee of admission (w/ 3Q+Nom), but do LOE recipients usually receive appointments (if so, what is the rate? 60%? 70%?)?
I want to use my one nomination wisely but still want to attend my first choice.
Also, if anyone any advice regarding my situation, I will be very grateful for your insight.
Thank you!
PS
I am 3Q, medically cleared, physically cleared.
