Blessed to receive Feinstein nomination to USAFA this morning on my portal! Good luck to all our CA applicants!Has anyone received a Feinstein nomination to USMA or USAFA?
Thank you!Congrats! It is my understanding that most Senators do not hold personal interviews given the volume of applications they receive. Additionally, most Senatorial selection boards are in communication with the local Congressional Districts of applicants to de-conflict their nomination slates. It is debatable as to whether or not it is important to have more than one nom. Depending on how the MOC submits their slate (ranked, unranked, principal), it could help the candidate.
My suggestion would be to continue the process and if there is an interview request, ask the Senator board if they are open to double nominating a candidate because you have already received a Congressional and out of respect for the board member time, you are open to not interviewing if that is their preference.
I didn't really understand the question. I've had a JROTC nom since 23 SEPT so my medical waiver was processed (and subsequently denied) pretty quickly. If you're asking how my ED application to Carnegie turned out... I got rejected. But plan c, d, e, f are all lined up!@20avva who used Turned Down Medically with you?!? Still praying for a waiver request here.... How did ED turn out?
"Most senators" certainly does not include Senators Booker and Menendez of New Jersey! Every candidate who submitted a NOM app received an interview.Congrats!

I agree with you. In my state both Senators interviewed everyone, as well. I believe "most senators" refers to those of extremely large states such as CA and TX and in actuality are not most senators, but senators representing the most people."Most senators" certainly does not include Senators Booker and Menendez of New Jersey!

@20avva , I’m so sorry to hear about the the final DQ. Which SA? And I’m sorry about CM, too. You seem like an absolutly exceptional human, candidate, student. I know you’re going to end up somewhere AMAZING and I have my fingers crossed for you that another SA deems you medically qualified. And to be clear, my DS is in the same boat, although I doubt he’s as strong a candidate as you. And his experience was like yours: interviews with both senators and MOC.I didn't really understand the question.

which academy?any update from Senator Mark Warner office, Virginia? Thanks
USNAwhich academy?
There was one post about a "Senator 2" for USNA that might have been Warner. It's like 2 pages back.USNA
Could be either.Hey, quick question. If my senator and representative does call me saying I got a nomination would it be their office who calls me or themself?
My DD received a nomination to USNA from Senator Warner. Portal update first and then a letter yesterday.which academy?
I know from research does interviews, and he told us no later than Wednesday we would receive an update but one has not been given. I was just wondering if it was inappropriate o call the office for a update
