Vice Presidential Nomination

[far_explorer_2025]

I am a hopeful USNA class of 2025 candidate and was planning on applying for a vice presidential nomination. The deadline to apply for a vice presidential nomination is January 31, 2021 though USNA's nomination deadline is January 31. How do the vice presidential nominations work and will I get a nomination in time to be considered?
Thank you

There have been two recent threads on VP noms in the past few days, similar questions; you may want to use the Search function.

At the top of the Nominations forum, there is a Sticky post on how it all works. If you haven’t read that, I recommend it.

The SAs evaluate and choose who gets the VP noms, with no direct VP staff interaction.

Just like other elected officials, VP can have 5 appointments at each of the SAs that use the VP noms. That works out to 1, occasionally, 2 in any given cycle.

Based on anecdotal insights here on SAF, the SAs often use those for applicants they want but who do not have a nom from any other source, late in the cycle.

Get everything in by the deadline, and your job is done except to wait and tend your alternate plans.

That makes sense thank you.
