[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Numerically you have a better chance of getting a Senatorial nomination, since every state has 2 Senators regardless of population.  Each Congressional district has roughly the same population so it makes no difference whether you live in the 4th district of Maryland or the 38th district of California in terms of sheer numbers.  It might be the case that the competition is tougher in particular districts based on the level of interest in that area in attending the academies, though.[/quote]

Thanks.  I guess I'm confused by the pp's statemetn that "all nominate the same number."  I took that to mean a grand total of, for example, X from each state.  If that were the case, coming from a smaller state would be an advantage.  But I guess what you're saying is that each senator/congressman gets X number?[/quote]

That's correct.  I don't know exactly what the number is right now.  It might be something like 10.  Not all ten get in.  They become the applicant pool for the respective academies, along with those who get nominations via other sources as a PP mentioned (children of KIA servicemembers or Medal of Honor winners, some recruited athletes, etc..)[/quote]
