[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When applying to a service academy you are required to obtain a Congressional nomination from one of the following sources:

A member of the U.S. Senate
    A member of the U.S. House of Representatives
    The Vice-President of the United States
    The Governor or Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico
    The Secretary of the Army

Each MOC possesses five nomination slots per year across all five service academies. Each senator has the same.[/quote]

Really? How can there be so many applicants, then?[/quote]
Oh please - I worked on the hill and constituents would just call or email their rep, send a blurb about themselves or resume and they would be nominated. The reps want to say xx from their district so it’s an automatic nomination[/quote]
How long ago was this?
Most people give out the nominations through committees. My child recently applied and each had portals, questions, and interviews.  It was thorough and documented. [/quote]
