Application process

<p>Junior year is closing up for me. I know that now I need to open up a file on the WP website and fill out the questionnaire. Then I must apply for a Congressional Nomination, correct? But to apply for that, what do I need? As of now, I know that I will need my high school transcript and my SAT scores, but what kind of recommendation letters do I need?</p>

<p>For your nomination, you need to go to the websites of your nominating sources to see what they require…each one is a little different. My son started three stacks: one for the congressman and one for each senator. Some things could be copied for each stack, others had their own unique requirements. Come up with a system that works for you and get busy. First, go to your nominating source’s website and click on something like “students” or “constituent services.” There will be directions there for you.</p>

<p>Thanks. And also one simple question: When you start the candidate questionnaire online, can you go back online whenever in case you’re still formulating an appropriate answer or once you start it, you must finish it there on the spot? How does this all work?</p>
