My son has an LOA to West Point. First round of nominations from senator is in and he was not nominated. The academy coordinator sent out a letter prior to interviews stating that if you had an LOA, and there was a chance that you were getting nominated by someone else, they would not be nominating you. But what if everyone feels that way and he is overlooked for a nomination?
I have heard of people getting nominations from the second senator, but so far we have not heard either way.
He had to miss his interview with our district MOC, but the coordinator said his file would still be reviewed and not to worry, with an LOA he would be OK--but that is not a guarantee, either.
Should he contact the other senator and MOC and let them know he was turned down from nomination from Senator 1?
My son has an ACT score of 33, class rank of 5/392/ 3.98 unweighted GPA, class president, varsity football for 3 years, Captain of the football team, varsity track for two years, medically qualified, Two AP courses last year (scored 5 on AP tests) and 3 this year.
His instinct is to trust the system, but I can't help worry and wonder if a squeaky wheel might get a little attention.
Thanks
