    Hello all, I recently had my interview with my congressman's panel. Would it be proper to send a thank you email to the staffer/coordinator? I did not meet the congressman himself, and was instead interviewed with 3 panelists. Thank you !

    Principal Nominations

    Does anyone know the difference - in the Academy's eyes, between a nomination and a principal nomination. Does a principal nomination give you better odds?
