Begin seeking nominations in the spring of your junior year, or as soon as you apply to West Point. Do not delay! The nomination deadlines vary, but they are deadlines, not suggested or preferred dates. If you miss a deadline, there are no exceptions. Applicants must complete the online VP nomination application during the application period of March 1 to January 31 preceding the year of entrance to the academy. Don’t take a chance on missing a deadline. Start early!
I have not been able to receive a nomination for WP. Is it impossible for me to get appointed anymore?
It seems that we are interpreting the OP's question differently. I read it to mean he has not received any nominations yet, not that he has not applied to any.All nomination applications have to be in by 31 JAN regardless of source unfortunately.

Actually I think he would have heard from any Congressional nomination by now. Not sure of when the last of the non-Congressional noms will be issued.Gotcha. He would have heard from any non-congressional nomination sources by now.
My "guess" is that information is not available to the public.Do sup's noms ever go to anyone besides athletes?
If the USMA is your preference over the USNA, it can't hurt to call the SA rep at the Senator's office that gave you your nomination to the USNA. Ask them if it is possible to receive a nom to USMA instead. The answer is probably not, but it can't hurt to ask. They may know of someone who received a nom to the USMA that really wants to attend USNA. Most MOC offices do talk to each other when it comes to SA noms. Of course if the USNA is your preference then just ignore everything I posted.

You are probably correct. It is very late in the process. However, it couldn't hurt to ask.I'm almost positive that it is way too late for this. I believe that all nomination deadlines were Janurary 31. Of course, I may be wrong.
