Congressional Interviews

[Drenns3]

where to?

USAFA and USMMA

 

[JP51]

Mine was scheduled for 12 minutes, so you're probably fine.

Did you get any more info, apparently my MOC invited me to the Reception for the military academy nomination candidates, so I guess I will know then but still seems a little weird to me.

All 3 completed: 2 Senators & 1 Congressman.

1. Rejected by 1 Senator
2. Nominated by Congressman
3. Awaiting response from final Senator on decision

How long does the response take?

How long does the response take?

The Senators for Minnesota told me they will try to have them out by Mid-December, but January 31st at the latest (deadline)

 

[D2753]

early December to early January is pretty reasonable. I got my nominations results in a few days before Christmas last year

 

[Ready42025]

How long does the response take?

"Dear John" sorry we did not select you took 6 days from 1st Senator who BTW was an Academy grad
"Congratulations" we are nominating you (who knows how many others?) took 5 days
"Still waiting" from the final Senator, an interview from 21 NOV 20

I thought this was a good article on the process: 20 Things You Need to Know About Getting Into a Military Service Academy

JP51, I would assume you got a nomination. Inviting you to a banquet to be told no would be bizarre. Our MOC did a banquet, but we got a letter beforehand stating my DS got a nomination.

@JP51 Are you by chance in FL?

True, it was just kind of weird to be invited to it and not have any other info beforehand. Thanks

 

[JP51]

@JP51 Are you by chance in FL?

Yes, are you in the 21st district?

 

[KB7801]

Yes, are you in the 21st district?

No DS is in a different district.

 

[JP51]

No DS is in a different district.

Ah I see, well good luck to him

 

[KB7801]

Ah I see, well good luck to him

Have you heard from Rubio as of yet?

 

[Drenns3]

Have you heard from Rubio as of yet?

I have not heard from Rubio or Scott. I did from my congressman.

 

[KB7801]

I have not heard from Rubio or Scott. I did from my congressman.

My DS is still waiting to hear from Rubio as well.

Did he hear from Scott?

 

[JP51]

Have you heard from Rubio as of yet?

I already got a rejection from Scott and I don't have any feedback from Rubio, I am going to assume my last chance of getting an appointment lies on the MOC nomination so yea.

Your MOC may not be your last chance with a VP nom, etc. You are not out until the last day.

That said, always make sure you have a Plan B, C and D as well.

You're right I'm getting a little too pessimistic.

 

[KB7801]

Did he hear from Scott?

He did not receive an interview from Scott and hasn’t heard back from Rubio. He does have a meet and greet scheduled Friday with his MOC.
