The one and two are senior or junior designation. So you received it from the junior senator Tammy Duckworth. Congratulations!I received no emails so I’m not sure which Senator but I received a nomination today to USNA from “IL Senator II” according to my portal.
Where did you hear? Email, snail mail?TWE from Cornyn
Congratulations! My DS got a rejection email from Senator Durbin yesterday, so we are still hoping a Senator Duckworth nom will appear in his USMA portal. He has our Congressman's nomination to USNA but is still sweating the USMA nomination because he got his 3Q letter yesterday.I received no emails so I’m not sure which Senator but I received a nomination today to USNA from “IL Senator II” according to my portal.
My DD is done with interviews with Senator Warrens office today and yet to hear from Senator Markey on the interview.I believe Sen. Markey's due date for the package to be submitted, was 11/1 and Sen. Warren's I believe is 11/11 so I would give it another few weeks. My DS is in the same boat, but from the western end of the state.
Toomey (PA), and not yet so I'm a bit stressed, but hoping they're waiting to send in updates to portals until the time when mailed letters would arrive.Which Senator is this and do you see the nom in your portal?
Neither yet! It just showed up in my portal!Fellow Hoosier here. My son also received a nomination from Braun. It just showed up in his portal a couple days ago. Nice surprise. Did you get an email or a call from a staffer? Congratulations on your nomination!
Oh wow. My son hasn’t received any letters yet from Senator Toomey (and we are located in PA). But if you said their office told you they mailed the letters already, I’m hoping this means they’ll arrive in a day or so.Toomey (PA), and not yet so I'm a bit stressed, but hoping they're waiting to send in updates to portals until the time when mailed letters would arrive.
My DS is also waiting for and interview with Senator Warren. Fortunately he received a nomination for our congressman!! Good luck!!My DD is done with interviews with Senator Warrens office today and yet to hear from Senator Markey on the interview.
Also in PA. Is it known that Senator Toomey releases nominations for all service academies at one time? Have not received anything one way or the other either.Oh wow. My son hasn’t received any letters yet from Senator Toomey (and we are located in PA). But if you said their office told you they mailed the letters already, I’m hoping this means they’ll arrive in a day or so.
Good luck to you and everyone else waiting in PA!
May be you already did this.Yet another question about nominations: will an office let candidates know the results of the nomination by email? I contacted my senator's office and they said they have already mailed out results by post, but the issue is I provided my old address as I don't live in the US atm (they told me to use my old address). Or can they send results any way they choose, so maybe they would not use email, and I would have to see the results of my nomination by checking the portal?
If you applied for the VP nom at USAFA, there is still a chance. Slim, yes, but it exists.Just heard back from my IL congressman about receiving another nomination for Navy, meaning that it’s the end of the line for Air Force since I didn’t receive a nomination (it was marked my 2nd choice on all applications). I’m pretty elated and hope that DODMERB can work through my stuff quickly to set me up for an appointment.
I did apply for the VP Nom as well, it's just the waiting game for now. CIV team told me that DODMERB is getting forwarded my results early to mid next week so I'm holding out hope for being completely qualified before the end of the year. If I have a Senator and a Congressional nomination am I on a pretty good track for an appointment?If you applied for the VP nom at USAFA, there is still a chance. Slim, yes, but it exists.
If you want USNA, then you are in decent shape with noms. Reassure us you applied for a VP nom there.
USNA may well have already evaluated your application. If they wish to offer you an appointment, they’ll be keeping an eye on your DoDMERB status. You’re competing against other fully qualified candidates on your slate for the appointment to be charged to the elected official. Of course, USNA can offer appointments to other fully qualified applicants on the slate, but the appointment is charged to other nom authorities they manage.
I have a two next to my senator's nom in my portal, but the nom I received is from my senior senator rather than my junior senator. Where did you hear this?The one and two are senior or junior designation. So you received it from the junior senator Tammy Duckworth. Congratulations!
I wish I had a magic wand, crystal ball and Magic 8 Ball to predict chances for you. We just don’t know how fellow fully qualified nominees grade out in comparison to you.I did apply for the VP Nom as well, it's just the waiting game for now.

Can only hope now, thanks for the replies.I wish I had a magic wand, crystal ball and Magic 8 Ball to predict chances for you. We just don’t know how fellow fully qualified nominees grade out in comparison to you.
Every year, there are more fully qualified candidates with noms than there are seats in the class. This is why you shut down those brain hamsters running amok thinking about this and focus on what you can control - tending alternate plans, doing well in school, enjoying family and friends, doing PT as stress relief.
