"Promised a possible LOA " -- what does that mean ? You either have an LOI, or you don't. BTW, USNA does not have Field Admissions Officers..
> Right, and wrong. You are correct, that LOA candidate only needs a NOM, and doesn't matter if he/she is #1 or #10, but unless the MOC has room for more than one persons that year (each MOC can have 5 people at each Service Academy during a given year), the person who "wins the slate" can't get in if the appointment goes to the person with the LOA. (I don't know specifics at USMA, but there probably other ways to get that slate winneer in, including VP or Supe nominations).
Very interesting. Our MOC gave a Principal Nom to an LOA last year also. If the MOC only has one opening and if the MOC were to give the non-LOA slate winner the Principal Nom and give the LOA holder a nomination but not the Principal, would the LOA holder be appointed and charged somewhere else or would the LOA holder then not receive an appointment?
