Has anyone gotten a call from Markey yet?
I have not. They called at around 4 or 5 PM EST last year. Maybe they'll call, maybe they won't.
If they dont call how will we be notified?
I have no idea. They might just update the portal, or they’ll send an email, or they’ll just notify through snail mail. Any way they choose, your portal should reflect a nomination (or not) by the end of today.

Portals may not update for a couple days. Just because its not there tonight doesn't mean no.
I stand corrected. Thanks
 
I feel kind of foolish at this point for my earlier posts on this subject, but not completely. We just found out that DD has received nominations from Senator Harris for all three academies to which she applied. But we still have not had any communication whatsoever from her office. DD's portals at USAFA, USMA, and USNA show the nominations, but she never interviewed and we have not received any notice from the Senator's office.

We are exceedingly grateful for the honor granted to our DD, but are still rather confused. On the one hand receiving three nominations from a California Senator is a huge honor, but the fact it occurred in a complete vacuum is still...confusing?

We also have a conundrum concerning one of the noms. DD has received appointments to USCGA and USNA. The appointment to USNA was presumably charged to our Congressman, since it was awarded prior to Senator Harris' nom. However, we only found out about the second nom tonight. Given that the deadline has passed, is it still possible for DD to advise the Senator's office that she does not need the USNA nomination so that it can be given to another candidate? Or has that ship already sailed?

Just checked my portal and saw that I recieved a nomination from Senator Markey! Everyone check your portals. Should have updated.

Congrats! Any Markey noms to USNA?

But I'm sure she filled out a lengthy paper application in order to apply for the nominations, had test scores sent, answered essay questions, probably provided a photo. Just cause there was no interview doesn't mean there was no evaluation. In our State, only our Congressperson interviewed, our two Senators were paper reviews only. I'd say count your blessings...I'd also recommend holding on to every nom you have in order to maximize all your chances. As I understand it--every nomination means another review. Whichever one her (hopeful) appointment will be charged against, the SA will redistribute the other unused one as they see fit to another deserving candidate.
 
DD received Sen. Markey's nom to USAFA! Now we hurry up and wait! Best of luck to all families!
Also, received word she was awarded a NROTC scholarship. She has been accepted to FSU but also awaits UNC and BU.
