USNA LOA and USMA
If all the information regarding USMA only send out the offer letter on Feb 26, my DS 1st choice is USMA, which mean he will have to make a tough decision as follow.
- He has received congressional nomination to USMA mid-November. (All application has been completed in Sept.)
- He received LOA from USNA in early November, but no nomination yet. He has to response his intention to the Navy by March 1.
If he waits for USMA to receive the offer on Feb 26, he may miss pursuing the nomination for USNA, because he only has 2 days to response to USNA, but if he pursuing the nomination to USNA sometime in January, he may have to forgo the USMA appointment, assuming he may receive the offer from USMA later. How can he play this out effectively?
- Is it true that the candidate with LOA can receive the nomination from congressional/senatorial without being charge to the current 5 academy allotment? The reason being, the navy congressional liaison can request for the nomination and not charging the allotment so it is a win win situation to all party, according some of the blog I read.
