I'm a US citizen living abroad and I'm applying to USAFA, USNA, and USCGA. I applied for a nomination to Senators Tim Kaine, Mark Warner and congressman Randy Forbes, which I am eligible for Va nominations. I have been rejected by Forbes and Warner, still waiting for Forbes, and I am in the process of the Vice president nomination application.
I'm just about to submit my applications to the academies, just have to touch up my essays.
Can you please check out my chances and ways I can improve for next years class? Even though I don't have a nomination as of now, is there still hope for USNA or USAFA?
