Our senators nominated quite a few kids who are at USAF prep this yr. I would assume those kids will should get a priority in admissions. Given the low number of admissions senators have should we expect that there’s no chance for others to get in?
 
Not necessarily. That’s for Admissions to figure out as they put the puzzle together.

How does that work? If they received a nom last year, went to prep school, do they need another nom again this year? Or they just have priority in admissions? I didn’t think they affected your slate this year(?)
 
Each year is a new cycle, no carryover for prepsters. All SA preps and sponsored prep are expected to apply for all noms for which eligible, for the next class. If they are unable to obtain a nom, this is one of the occasions a Superintendent’s discretionary nom might be used.

USCGA, no noms, of course.

Yes they have to reapply all over again but definitely have an edge when it comes to getting in if they did well because SA are already invested in them
 
Make sure you remember how the process works. Each Senator will only have 1 appointment charged each year. Everyone nominated on the slate competes for that one opening. The other 9 will be allowed to compete in the other categories. There is a group at the end of the cycle called Additional Appointees. This is typically where the prepsters get charged.

SECNAV/SECARMY/SECAF Noms can be and are often used if NAPS (or equivalent) do not get an MOC or other nom. Sponsored Preps would need a Supes nom if no other nom is found.

Most of the sponsored prep candidates are eligible for an service connected ROTC nominations from their schools as well.

Again, remember their is a big difference in getting a nomination and winning the slate. The applicants at USMAPS and sponsored prep just need a nomination. The basically have an informal LOA.
