principal nomination

Hi, I received the following correspondence in my portal today; The Admissions Office has received all your information and the Admissions Committee has reviewed your application. You have been found fully qualified and placed on the national waiting list. Several hundred cadetships will be...

Hey everyone, just had a few questions about nominations for those who hold LOAs... I know that the typical routine for questioning is first to try and peruse the forum for answers. However, in my case, I am still pretty confused even after doing this, so I thought to ask my questions here and...

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?

I have gotten a nomination from my representative, but they're having a breakfast where they're announcing who will be getting the principal nomination. I have high hopes since I know my rep appointed 6-8 people for Air Force, and my interview and application were strong. If I don't get the...

Hey Service Academy Community! I recently received a letter saying that I was my MOC principal nomination for USMA from my congressman. After reading through the forum of what a principal nomination is I am very excited but still have a few questions. 1. When does west point send out the 3Q's...

Hello! First-time poster here. I’m a candidate for USMA and received a nomination from my district congresswoman. Now, as I have not spoken with her yet, I am unsure if I am a principal nominee. Since I have an LOA though, and received the nomination, does that mean I have an almost 100% chance...

For USMA and USNA would my DS's portal show whether it is a competitive or a principal nomination or would that only be spelled out in a letter from the MOC? DS received word from USMA via email that he got the nomination and then when he checked his portal it was there (checked off and showing...

Hey guys, I was notified that I am on the NWL. I've heard this means I didn't get the slot for my MOC's slate, but I read on this forum that with a MOC who doesn't rank candidates, such as mine, all of the candidates in my MOC slate are placed on NWL and the one who gets selected for the slot is...

I have an interesting question here. I'm wondering what would happen if a candidate was slated as principal nominee for an MOC but was currently waiting for decision on remedial? Would admissions select a different appointee for that vacancy? Or would that only apply if the principal nominee was...

So I've heard there there are 3 ways for MOC to make nominations to the USNA: 1. There's a principal nominee who the USNA has to admit into the academy if they meet the requirements 2. There's a principal nominee and all the other nominees are ranked in order of preference 3. All nominees are...
