nomination

DS has received a nomination from AZ Senator Flake and it still isn't showing up on his portal (notified December 12). He confirmed with the senator's office (they submit slate with no ranking) and just wondering if anyone else has seen their AZ Senator Flake nom show up on their portal? Thanks!

Do all the Congressman and Senators advise the nominees if they are their 'principal' nominee? Neither nomination letter DD received had 'principal' worded in it, so just curious

Hello all, Yesterday I received a principal nomination to USMA from my MOC. I've heard conflicting reports, so I was hoping someone could clear this up. What exactly does the principal nomination mean? Assuming you are 3Q'd, does it mean you are guaranteed an appointment? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I just found a spread sheet that shows the nominations by each House of Rep from 2009 to 2012. I hope this information is helpful to anyone. On the bottom of each sheet it says that highlighted names are MOC with low nominations. Is that represented by the CHC/CBC? anyone know what...

Hi, was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice for the interviews for Congressman Israel. I would appreciate if you could PM me any info/advice you can give. Thank you.

Good evening, My portal states I have received an RSCOM nomination and I am curious if anyone knows what this acronym stands for? or where this nomination would be coming from? Thank you

In a state of disbelief right now. I went through my congressman's nomination process relatively confident due to receiving an LOA beforehand as well as being told by admissions that I am one of, if not the best in my district. My application was great, the interview was "meh" (Not bad, but...

I am a candidate for the US Naval Academy. I have a 3.9 GPA, lettered in football and soccer, and got a 1310 on my SAT and 27 composite ACT. I have been Class President, Interact President, House President (my school has a house system like, similar to Harry Potter) and have participated in...

Hey everyone. I submitted my materials for the nomination in mid October (before the deadlines) and today's November 10th, and I still haven't received any emails calling me for an interview. Specifically for Congressman Dan Donovan (and it says on his website that an email will be sent anywhere...

Hi everyone, I'm from a very competitive district (TX-03), and I have been working very hard for the last five years to make sure my profile is competitive enough for admission (34 ACT, varsity swim team captain, NHS president, founder of a biking club, etc.). I have submitted everything on the...

I will be attending three separate congressional interviews for potential nominations, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to expect at these interviews? Is it similar to, for instance, the USAFA ALO interview (in terms of question types)? Anything anybody has regarding the...

Hi everyone, I looked everywhere on this forum, but couldn't find an answer to this question. I was wondering when I will receive a Letter of Appointment, given that I received an LOA, a nomination, and my medicals are cleared. Would I receive my letter at the same time as others? Or are these...

I have submitted my Nomination applications to both my Senators and my congressman in the state of Illinois. But due to relocation of my father's job, our family has moved to Nevada. I have not yet gotten a Nevada license, but I am unsure if living here from here on out takes me out of the...

If so, please let me know who you have received a nomination from. Also, has anyone heard from Rep. Eliot Engel? I live in NY-16 and I've heard that the applications for a nomination are fewer than the actual slots for nomination. Thanks!

Is there a point to submitting SAT/ACT scores to the USNA and USMA if you have not been nominated yet? Or even broader, is there a point to even filling out your application if you havent been nominated yet? You cant be accepted without a nomination so wouldnt you just have wasted the money...

Currently this is what I have. I think I need to work on my closing but do I also need to talk more about what I have to bring to the table? IV: PERSONAL STATEMENT Using a separate sheet of paper, please explain why you want to attend the United States Service Academy of your choice in 500...

Hopefully I am not breaking any unknown rules posting on here for the first time so I'll keep this as simple as I can. Currently, I am a senior in high school preparing for entering the USNA in 2017 (class of 2021). I have already become a candidate for consideration and am in the official...

Is it required to take the PSAT & PLAN to apply to USAFA? If yes, are these tests available in other countries?
