<p>Scenario A: Congressman submits an unranked nomination slate of 10 candidates to the USNA. Out of the 10, there is one LOA and an additional 3 3XQed candidates.....the other 6 candidates are not 3XQed.</p>
<p>One Questions:
(1) will the LOA get charged to the congressman for the USNA (and receive the appointment) and the other 3 3XQed candidates will hope to get either a Senatorial or VP nonination and then hope to get charged to either a Senator or the VP? If the three do not accomplish this with the Senators or the VP, they will not get appointments even though all three were 3XQed? </p>
<p>Scenario B: Congressman submits an unranked slate of 10 candidates to the USNA. Out of the 10, there are three LOAs. </p>
<p>Two Questions:
(1) will one LOA candidate get charged to the Congressman and if so, which one?
(2) who will the other two LOA candidates get charged to?</p>
<p>Pasquinel: The answer is always “it depends.” LOA could be charged to Congressman or Supe or VP or Pres or SecNav or ROTC. So could other candidates who are 3-Q’d. IT DEPENDS on what USNA wants to do. I imagine they do it as many ways differently for the various slates they have received as there is possible. In other words, they probably uise various combination of noms. There is no exact recipe they follow every time.</p>
<p>The LOA will get an appointment. If the LOA’s only condition was achieving a nomination.If LOA is charged to MOC, then the other three 3Q’d candidates would go into national pool and compete there for an appointment.</p>
<p>If there’s three LOA’s on one slate, they will find nomination sources to charge them to. They cannot all be charged to the MOC whose slate they are on, unless in the unlikely scenario that the MOC has 3 openings.</p>
<p>It is my understanding that many midshipmen will not be charged to a member of congress. Those nominees appointed from the national pool will not be charged to anyone.</p>
<p>435 Congress
100 Senate
Five charges maximum per member.
2,675 maximum charged midshipmen.
Total enrollment approximately 4,400.</p>
<p>I was told from admissions that if you have a LOA in hand and have met the qualifications a nomination was a nomination. They seemed to imply that it didn’t matter how it was slated or from whom or how many slots that MOC had available as long as you received a NOMINATION that was all that was needed. When parents startyed to question the different scenarios they repeated that a nomination was a nomination and thats all you needed. JUST repeating what I was told by them</p>
