Congressional nomination interview

[jeffreykj7]

I've been selected for an interview and was asked to submit time preferences according to their schedule. I gave them my preferences, but I haven't heard back. My interview is supposed to be next Wednesday. Should I email them about it now, or is it too early to ask? Thank you for your help.

You are a week away from the interview.

It is okay for you (the candidate) to place a phone call (remember those?) to the congressional coordinator for Service Academy nominations and confirm your appointment and time.

I second the phone call idea.
If you don't talk on the phone a lot, you may want to write down what you're planning on saying/asking, before you do.

Just do you don't say something like;
"Hey yeah, like I was wondering, if you like knew, like if you have, like, selected times for interviews on Wednesday, like yet, ya know?"

You may think that's me just being funny, but my DS heard two "interviewees" in the waiting room of a MOC having a conversation like this before he went in for his interview. He told me this story when he got home and volunteered the statement: "If either one of those guys has a snowball's chance in Hell of getting a nomination, I must seem like Chester Nimitz to them".
