A few points for those new to USAA and NFCU, and echoing some points made above and responding to the original post: - In a nutshell, if you're going to pick ONE, I'd recommend NFCU, and I'd open the account as soon as you are eligible. - You do not have to use USAA banking services to be...

I was just curious about the impact of the LOA on the other candidates on the nomination panel -- and whether you can tell whether your nomination source is actually already going to go to someone with an LOA. I get that if you are the one holding the LOA, the nomination source to which you are...

Yes. And thanks for the feedback!

Just wondering if anyone has any insight as to whether seventh semester grades are requested by the Academy if the candidate has already received and accepted an appointment. I believe that final grades will be submitted at the end of the year, but wasn't sure whether seventh semester grades...
