Rat here,
Yesterday I just got the official word that my congressman is nominating me. At the interview, the committee basically nominated me on the spot and said "we're going to do everything we can to get you there." And I know that they were talking about maybe switching up the way they did nominations last year and making me the principal nomination. I got an email the other day from the head rugby coach at USMA (I play rugby here at VMI) who told me that rugby is now a varsity sport at West Point and that they have a pull in the admission process. I filled out the questionnaire he attached and haven't heard back since. Got my fingers crossed on that.
At VMI, I'm the platoon leader (nominated by my brother rats) for my platoon and am doing exceptionally well in ROTC (based off of peer reviews, awards) all while looking at a 3.0+ this semester.
For reference, I was fully qualified and nominated last year but not selected. What do you think my chances are right now? (I know that question is frowned upon, but I'm getting excited for West Point)
