<p>if you get an early acceptance, do you still go to the congressman nomination interview?</p>
<p>Yes you will still be required to go through the nomination process for your Congressional, or Presidential nomination. You do in most cases have a step up, because the Academy has already said they want you.</p>
<p>so even if you get accepted with the presidential nomination you have to?</p>
<p>If you have a Presidential Nomination currently, and you get accepted in the EARLY process, what we are in now, then you WON'T get an LOA. You will get an APPOINTMENT. Now, because there are only so many Presidential Nominations, if you have/had one, and you get an LOA later down the road, it's because you no longer have a Presidential Nomination. They were used up earlier, and you now need to get a congressional nomination. That is why you still go to the congressional nomination interviews and such. If you get an APPOINTMENT, then you have no need to go to the congressional nomination interview. Your nomination was already granted. You CAN'T get an APPOINTMENT without a nomination. But, don't think because you are authorized a Presidential Nomination means that you automatically get one. They may have issues the quota before you got selected. In which case, you will get an LOA instead of an Appointments and will need another nomination.</p>
<p>okay that makes sense thanks</p>
<p>If you have a presidential nomination and your DoDMERB physical is qualified the Academy will extend an appointment. If you need a nomination or the physical needs a waiver you will probably be offered a letter of acceptance (LOA). You should still persue your nominations from all available sources.</p>
<p>If I read your message right...Early acceptance with a presidential nom=appointment, thus, you do not need to go further with other noms. Is this correct</p>
<p>The letter you get from the academy will either say that you got an APPOINTMENT or a LETTER OF ASSURANCE. You CAN'T get an APPOINTMENT unless you have been nominated. Therefor, if you got an APPOINTMENT you WERE nominated. If you get a letter of assurance, you haven't YET been nominated. Or, you are still waiting on your medical results and you may or may not have your nomination. Only you know that answer.</p>
<p>I was really confused reading through the post the other night. My son (2012) received a post card from USAFA registrar notifying him of a presidential nomination. None of the military liasions for our senators or congressman for the state and district know about his presidential nomination. When we checked his admission status (Air</a> Force Academy) the status block below candidate was changed from "application complete" to Appointment Offered." I had a tough time confirming that an appointment had been offered him. We also didn't get an LOA, but one of the senators had received an Academy Acceptance letter with my son's name on it. So it appeared that he was qualifed or accepted by the academy and he had a nomination source. On Saturday (11/10/07) we received our official Appointment Packet. It was white, and on the outside it stated "appointment inclosed". Yes, inclosed and not "enclosed". So here is what I can now see has happened. The post card we received from admissions stated his nominating source, the academy had previously "boarded" him and accepted him as highly qualified. The web site was updated to reflect his new status as "Appointment offered" and his nomination source was updated to "Presidential." The mail followed the updated website but not long after it.</p>
<p>320Capt. That is pretty much what happened to my son. He had his presidential nomination since about July. (We started the process in June). Until this past Wednesday, his online application showed "Your Status" = Candidate. "Application Status"= Complete. Wednesday it changed to "Appointment Status" = Appointment Offered. We got the office notice in the mail yesterday. </p>
<p>So, congrats. Being you got the appointment, any additional nominations are not needed. Congrats again.</p>
