I received a congressional nomination in the mail today and can see it in my portal; I'm absolutely stoked! Does anyone know roughly how long it takes before admissions will notify me with their decision concerning an appointment? I also have an LOE: does this make their decision quicker? Thanks!

Hi! I have just received 3 congressional nominations and 3 senatorial nominations. My questions is how do I know if I got the primary nomination? Will it it appear in my portal specially outlining which one I received?

Good evening guys! I hope all of you are doing well. I recently got nominated by Congressman Pat Fallon to three service academies, USAFA (my first choice), USNA and USMA. Upon meeting him in person and attending a quick ceremony, I got my certificates and quickly realized a difference between...

Hello everyone, I was hoping to inquire about what any experts here in these forums could tell me what they think my odds of getting into West Point are if I have already received an LOA and am currently waiting for a nomination. I received my LOA early in in September, however, when applying...

Hello all, I'm wondering what would be the best way to submit the ROTC nomination paperwork. Should I have my PMS mail the nomination form, and then I upload the service-connected form directly on the portal? Should I submit both on the portal, or should I have my PMS mail in both forms? Any...

Hey y'all, I am a C/O 2026 applicant and am eligible for the POTUS nomination. For awhile now, I have had the Presidential Nomination Application/PDF from the USNA website. How does the process work in order to submit a POTUS nomination after filling it all out? Is it submitted digitally? Etc...

How is this different from a MOC nom from the admissions perspective? Is it less selective than MOC (bc MOC has limited number attending)?

I asked this question in the 2025 nominations thread already, but I figured I would get more answers making my own post. I received two nominations in my portal this morning with the code “OR61”. Meaning this is from one of my senators. Is a double nomination common with senators? And does it...
