P-Nom, heard nothing

I've heard (however mostly on USNA threads) that a principal nom and 3Q does NOT guarantee an appointment. Is that only true for USNA? Or was it false info in the first place, and a p nom plus 3Q anywhere is a guaranteed appointment? Just curious.

USNA does not have to appoint with P Nom and 3Q but they normally do

USNA does not have to offer an appointment to a candidate who is 3Q + principal nomination, but it is common practice to do so. They are not obligated while USMA's is worded differently and in turn they are obligated by law to do so.
 
Phew finally got a call from my MALO telling me I have been offered an appointment to USMA today. 3Qed only Monday. Now to wait on my packet.

It is true that a principal nom does NOT guarantee an appointment to USNA. The probability of appointment is high but it is not required by law.
A principal nomination (provided 3Q) DOES, by law, guarantee an appointment to USMA.
I don't know which side of the fence USAFA is on.
