justdoit19 - You are obviously a little peeved about my response. I acknowledged that there are always exceptions (and I appreciate them), before your most recent response. You proceeded to build a strawman, "I don’t think pointing out how someone with a LOA may not receive a nomination is...

Understood. no worries at all CaptMJ.

capt mj and justdoit19 - I always appreciate the "exception to the rule" comments. However, I think it's helpful if you leave space for the original poster to respond first, so we can all learn from their actual experience.

No, not how that works. If Congressman/Senator wants someone else they rank them, and they can list that LOA candidate as number 10. USNA has issued the LOA, it's good as long as they qualify otherwise. Congressman/Senators want to brag about appointments, they don't want to minimize them. IMO.

DS just checked his USNA portal and saw nomination from NY-17. Then he said, "now I have a 10% chance of an appointment". Sad but true, the wait is on.

Yes, my DS received the NROTC award about 3 days after receiving the "competitive applicant" email. That said, I've heard from lots of folks who received same letter in years past and didn't hear anything 'til April, and some who didn't receive letter at all and still received scholarship. I...

My DS just notified he received 4 year scholarship.

The email came from the candidate guidance office. After seeing the replies here and talking to some other folks, the best I can say about this letter is that it is not a rejection letter. Other than that, there are folks who have received the letter and not gotten a scholarship and those that...

My DS received an email that said "Based on a review of your application and academic record, you have been designated as a "Competitive Applicant". It the goes on to talk about Dodmerb, which he has already been qualified through for the Naval Academy. Does anyone know what "Based on a...
