Does anyone know how competitive California is? I'm assuming every state is competitive, but some more then others, I'm sure. Or am I way off.
It does matter a great deal in selecting the order of preference of service academies in your MOC's district.
Thank you for your responses. I live in the suburbs of S.F in low social economic city. But I'm sure the cities around me will be my competition. Every year there are one or two candidates in my city that get a nomination from my congressman so hopefully this will be a good year for me!
However, trying to 'game' the NOM system can backfire if you only get a NOM to the SA that wasn't really your main interest. Lots of older discussion on that.
'miGood point. If someone really wants a particular academy, they should go for it.
The only time it should be a consideration is if a candidate has no clear preference. For example, if a candidate would be happy at USMA or USNA, but their vision is worse than 20/40 USNA is more difficult to get an appointment than USMA. Without an LOA, USNA would be a risky first choice.
I am too! What district?[/QUOTE
I'm in the 3rd district garamendi's. How about yourself?
