If that were true then no LOA candidate should even bother to apply to their MOC for a nom since the academy will “find them one anyway”. I find it reasonable that an LOA with no nom can just reapply next year and try to get a nom in the next go round.
But the nom application process starts before the LOAs are likely given.
IIRC OP got noms for three SAs but not USNA. USNA gave the LOA. I bet she is highly qualified - and the Navy would try to get her in as the exception, and not the rule.
