Hello, I know this topic has been beaten several times so I'll keep it brief.
I had an interview with my Congressman the other day and he assured me that there are very few applicants (less than 10) and assuming nothing drastically changes I will receive a nomination. However, I am interested in trying to get a principal nomination. But when I asked him about it, he said that he gives out 10 unranked nominees because the academies barely take principal nominees into consideration. I said how I was under the impression that if you get a principal nominee they by law they have to accept you. He said that wasn't true. Could anyone show me where it states that principal nominees are a shoe-in (usually). I would like to send a respectful e-mail and let him know it is indeed possible. I'm confident I could beat the other six candidates, especially since I was the only one who scheduled an interview.
However, say he still decides to give out just 10 unranked nominees, won't the academy still take in their opinion the top candidate? They won't ignore a whole district correct?
Thank you,
Husky
