Did you apply for a nomination from the Vice President? You can do that easily and the deadline is probably approaching. Also, I believe you can be nominated by the academy superintendent if they decide they want you. I think the superintendent can nominate 50 per year. I also don't think you need a nomination to be selected for a Falcon Scholarship, or the Prep School. Can somebody confirm that part? Sorry, my answer is tailored to USAFA but it probably applies to USNA.
