I am in the Denver Public Schools district and I was wondering what it means for a district to be competitive (better or worse for me) and how competitive is my district?
Okay thank you, now I understand what counts as competitive. I am hoping I'll be able to get a nomination next year. Any advice for an aspiring cadet? I posted my grades and extra curriculars on here: https://www.serviceacademyforums.co...ting-in-criticism-suggestions-and-more.70311/You are in what I would guess is a very competitive district. All that means is that there are a lot of candidates competing for the nomination in your congressional district. Denver, since it is very close to the Air Force Academy, is very likely highly competitive with lots of applicants for few slots. On the flip side, some not so competitive districts are those in areas where military and academy awareness is very low. At my high school in Oregon, they couldn't remember how long it had been since someone even applied to a service academy, but the best guess was something like 20 years, and I went to a fairly large (2200+ kids) public high school. When I applied for a nomination from my congressional representative, she called me a week later to congratulate me and let me know she was nominating me. I didn't even do an interview.
thank you, is there a link public can access for some latest numbers?Here's the whole list. It is in alphabetical order by MOC's last name (MOC as of 2012).
Not that I know of.thank you, is there a link public can access for some latest numbers?
Thank you for posting @jl123 . If there is an N/A does that mean the MOC could not make a nomination b/c he/she had no seats open?Here's the whole list. It is in alphabetical order by MOC's last name (MOC as of 2012).
Those numbers up to 2018 would be interesting to see if you have them.Here's the whole list. It is in alphabetical order by MOC's last name (MOC as of 2012).
Thank you. Wasn't sure if it meant 'not applicable' as opposed to 'not available.'
- Those are the only numbers I have.
- If there are more than 10 nominations, it means the MOC had more than one slate or a previously nominated candidate dropped out and the nomination went to an alternate.
- I believe N/A means the data was unavailable, not that there were no vacancies.

Here is some admissions data acquired by a Yale Law School Clinic for a study they wrote. It's pretty recent stuff.
which data set are you looking at? Some are organized by district, some by name of the representative/senator - those are in alphabetical order by first name.Ok I feel really dumb here, but in the Yale law data, how do you know which district is yours (or which of those are the senators)? Those aren’t usually the way I see districts laid out, eg NJ-09 typical, this days things like NJ621
keep scrolling down. It seems to be organized by rep/ and or senator name further down, i see senator's names for sure. Looks like there is a separate line entry for each cadet nominated.
