So my son was nominated to the USAFA with 2 nominations and 1 to the USNA with 1 nomination. The list was published today on line and going over the list I am confused. I am just trying to educate myself and have read a lot about nominations and how they work but this is confusing and maybe someone can give me some insight.
Why would both senators nominate almost the exact same kids to the same academies? What is the advantage of that to the kids who didn't get in? I understand that like my son he has more chances now which is a good thing on his 2 nominations to the USAFA but I dont understand the logic in choosing almost the same kids.
Why is one senator's nominating list have 20 chosen kids listed for one academy and the other senator list is nominating 10 to the same academy? Is that possibly one senator has 2 slots open and the other 1 slot at the academies for those nominated?
Thanks
