Hello I’m a CPR like many of you. I’ve been passing some time looking at this thread and I’ve seen candidate slating pop up several times but I haven’t encountered an actual definition and am hopeful someone would have some insight on that process. Thank you very much!
 
The "slate" is the list of nominated candidates submitted by each MOC to USNA. Each slate contains from 1-10 nominees, though the MOC is not required to nominate anyone. Assuming at least one of the nominees is 3Q, there will be a slate "winner." That winner is most often charged to the MOC (though this process is a bit more complicated as you can see from other threads. Some refer to this entire process as "slating" or "charging."

Someone from my district got a LOA, a nom from out senator as well as one from our MOC and was appointed a couple weeks ago. Would he still be the MOC slate winner even though he got a nomination from our senator?
 
Thank you @usna1985 . I think I saw this elsewhere: the people who don’t win the slate but still have a nomination are then selected out of the national pool. Is that correct?

No way to know to whom he was charged. It's a very complicated process and appointees can be shuffled around in terms of to whom they are ultimately charged (doesn't affect their status at all).

If you have a nom and don't win your slate, you are sent to the National Pool from which you may (or may not) be selected for an appointment.
 
Copy thank you @usna1985 . My congressman wasn’t very specific on how he reports the slate but it’s I think it’s safe to assume I wasn’t the principle nomination and that I am in the national pool because I haven’t heard anything yet. Nothing left to do but wait, balls in their court ... hard not to think about it though.

Not necessarily. I don’t believe all MOC skates have been resolved and appointed. That part is still happening. It’s like a puzzle that is slowly coming together to form a diverse class. Some parts of the puzzle happen early to ensure fairness and diversity. Other parts seem to happen later to fill in the gaps. It’s more complex than regular colleges due to the commitment to pull across all states and districts. I don’t even fully understand it myself as the rules seem malleable year over year.
 
Great advice mcfamilyof4. You can see from the DIY thread there are some states that are MIA, meaning those “state’s slates, might come out late!”
