Not a whole lot. I believe they decide who they want and then look for nom. It's like a box checked. Even if they don't have one they can find one it seems. Many stories of multiple noms not getting in.My DS has recieved nominations from both our Senators and our Representative. Other than the fact that he will be looked at 3 times does this help him at all?
I would bet the candidates with multiple noms have a higher rate of success than not.Not a whole lot. I believe they decide who they want and then look for nom. It's like a box checked. Even if they don't have one they can find one it seems. Many stories of multiple noms not getting in.
Some Senators/MOC don’t give nominations to people who they know already have noms.Let's do the math. Assuming all candidates have been scored (WCS) --- First, compete at own representative slate. The highest score is picked from each of representative slate. If not picked -- then move on to senator A's slate, competing with all the top 2 from each representative slate. If not picked, then move to senator B's slate, competing with remaining top 2 and one top 3 from each representative slate.
I should add --- not all top 2 from representative slates will be in senator's slate -- because only 10 will be nominated. Small state will have a better chance
In the ideal world -- that is what mathematicians develop theorems. Beside, we are talking about chances not conclusive results.Some Senators/MOC don’t give nominations to people who they know already have noms.
Not sure how we can assume the number twos from MOC slate are the ones competing for Senator slates. They all have their own criteria.
Had 5 last year, got waitlisted til early June or late May and received a TWE shortly after. Theoretically it gives you a much better chance, but its still not a shoe-inmaybe, maybe not..... 3 years ago my DS had 5 nominations and did not get in....
