@HMCoF2021 congrats on the nomination. Yes, she received her nomination from Sen Mikulski and has accepted her appointment. She had an LOA, so she is through the process much earlier than most. Good luck to you, go class of 2021!
My daughter received a letter in the mail from the Senators office that they had selected her for a nomination. Then she received an email from the academy a few days later that she had an appointment (had an LOA letter already in hand).
