nomination

In my last post I discussed how I initially was only going to apply to USNA and indicated that on nominations. (Received noms to USNA early dec), but by then decided Army is more down my alley. Unfortunately though, there are no more slots for USMA bc my district is so competitive. What can I...

Hello, Yesterday I submitted my application for the Vice Presidential Nomination and never got a confirmation email of any sort. I got a little pop up that said "thank you for submitting" and it just refreshed the page. Since every other nomination source has sent out a confirmation email I...

I just received a call this morning from my state’s representative in which I received a nomination from that I had been awarded an appointment to the United States Naval Academy. My portal does not yet show the appointment, and I was wondering when it would update? Also when do you think my...

Good evening, This is my first time posting on the Air Force Academy Forums, so I apologize if I make any formatting mistakes. I am an applicant for the Air Force Academy for the Class of 2025. I completed my application back in early November, got a presidential nomination in October, and...

Hello there, I already received a nomination to USNA and finished all my interviews a couple months ago. Im pretty sure my district distributed all nominations. But I just decided to finish and submit my app to USMA as a backup (after speaking with cadets there a couple weeks ago). Is this OK...

Has anybody received any form of confirmation of receipt of their packets from either of the Ca senators? I have sent mine over a month ago and just now heard back from Harris, still no word on Feinstein. I know they are supposed to send the post card one includes in their packet, but I still...

Everything on my application is finished except the nomination and DoDMERB. My Congresswoman has deemed me an "alternate" for nominations. Since the deadline, I have successfully completed my essays, CFA, and have improved my SAT score from a 1270 to a 1330. I also started track and was...

I am a Senior in high school and recently found out about the service academies. I was planning on going to a state university, but after researching, I've decided that going into the academy would be the option I favored more. It has constantly been on my mind for the past month or so and it is...

Hello all, This evening I visited the USAFA application homepage and I was surprised to find that the portal listed my nomination as "received". This was puzzling since all of my congressional boards had told me they would not be notifying until late December regarding their decisions. I did...

Hi all. A question regarding congressional nominations: My DD is 1 of 10 nominated by a MOC to USNA. USNA is her top, and she has 2 more nom interviews in the coming weeks. She is unsure if she should say USNA is her top in these next cong interviews because she already got a nom and does...

Unfortunately, I have not received a nomination from my Congresswoman. Although I was selected as an alternate and I still have yet to hear back from my Senator, it is unlikely that I will receive a nomination. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who gave me feedback and advice...

Hi, I'm from Massachusetts, and I sent in my applications for nomination about a month ago. The due date was October 30th for all three, and I was wondering when I should expect to hear back in regards to scheduling an interview? Does everyone get an interview or do only competitive applicants...

I recently sent my JROTC SAI a Form 5-497, I filled out all my information but when it asked for my SAT scores, it was written down in the format used before 2016. It asks for my Critical Reading Score, My Writing Score, And my Math Score. I initially assumed this meant the "Test Scores" which...

Hello, I am currently applying to the USMA and therefore applying to all my congressional nomination sources. I am also starting to look into ROTC as another source of commissioning in case I don't receive an appointment. If I were to receive a nomination, would this have any weight towards...

Howdy, Would anybody mind reading over my mom essays and critiquing/giving feedback? They are very short and I would greatly appreciate any feedback. (Please PM if so).

Hello, I'm from California and I will be turning in nomination applications to both senators pretty soon, so if anyone would like to give me any feedback that would be greatly appreciated. Please PM me if you would like to(for obvious reasons). Thank You Very Much! P.S. Good Luck...

Hello everybody! This is my first post here. I was hoping for advice on my usna nomination essay. My current answer feels like it's taking the question too literally: do y'all think that they want me to tie in personal experiences or take a different route? Anything is appreciated, especially...

I am collecting LORs from a few teachers who know me well for Senatorial/Congressional Nominations. Should the letters be sealed/official in any way?

I am currently applying for a nomination from the office of Senators Marco Rubio, Rick Scott and Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy. Senator Rubio's online application requires 6 essays with a maximum of 5,000 words each. Does this mean I should be writing near 5,000 words for each essay? I am...

Ok so I've looked all over the USAFA Website, and tried looking on this forum however, I would appreciate clearer information. Here's what I would appreciate knowing more about: VP 1) How many recommendation letters do I need to send for this application? On the website, it says to send...
