I’m an applicant to USMMA for the class of 2023. My application has been complete since late October. However, I have not secured a nomination yet. With nominations due January 31, that leaves me 11 days to find one. I’m seeking advice on how to proceed.
So back in September I applied to my district MOC and both my senators. I also applied to one MOC outside of my district since for USMMA you don’t have to reside in their district. My district MOC and one of my state senators granted me nominations to other Service Academies. The MOC I applied out of district to flat out denied me of an interview. So this left me without a nomination to USMMA.
Back in the middle of October I received an email from the assistant admissions director, Lieutenant Commander Keith L. Watson, stating that he has viewed my preliminary application and ACT scores and is encouraging me to complete my file ASAP as I’m a competitive candidate. If anyone is wondering, I have a 34E and 34M. Do many candidates receive this email or is it unheard of?
So with 11 days to find a nomination, could I call Commander Watson and ask for help from USMMA with regards to finding a nomination? Is it something I could count on? I was also thinking about calling the rest of the MOC’s in my state and send them my resume, transcript, test score, and recommendation letters and asking for a nomination. I figured if the district didn’t nominate any applicants to USMMA yet, they might consider me this late in the game. Are either of these actions inappropriate?
