<p>Not sure how other states operate, but in GA all candidates are treated by the MOC's as "ours." For example, my son will go to a reception in our congressional district for appointees, however, his nom was from a senator. I would assume most states treat this in a similar fashion, but could be wrong.</p>

If a candidate is now in the national pool for appointments through MOCs other than his own, does THAT MOCs office contact the appointee?

</p>
<p>You are in the National pool through the nomination you have with your own MOC. You don't actually get an appointment from another MOC's slot.
Qualfied candidates who have a congressional appointment but don't win their congressional slate all go into the "national pool" where they are chosen
by order of merit.</p>
<p>If you have a congressional nomination and win an appointment from the "national pool" your MOC will "claim" you - and rightly so. The MOC will not be charged.</p>
<p>'It's great to see some getting appointments. Any rejection letters yet? I haven't heard any sent out so far this year. '</p>
<p>Great question from socaldreamers, anybody get a rejection letter yet???</p>
<p>Even though i was told mid-February that the Board did not issue me an appointment when they reviewed my file, I have yet to receive a letter from USNA admissions. So I am guessing (as most of us do online) that appointment letters are taking the priority over rejection letters at this time.</p>

<p>Sorry for double messages...</p>
<p>So I have been racking my brain and trying to do anything to keep my mind off of the waiting period, but I just keep being brought back to the wonderful lists of questions and what if's. </p>
<p>I was wondering if someone could explain the nomination process from NAPS to the Academy. I just stopped by the web page of the congressman the gave me a nomination and I saw a list of five names including my own for the boat school. Only one other candidate had not applied for another service academy and that is a result of her current enrollment at NAPS. (finally the question) Does someone applying to the Academy from NAPS require a nomination? I ask this only because if I remember correctly, a student who has maintained a 2.0 QGPA at NAPS and meets the other specified guidelines will receive an appointment. Doesn't this simply disqualify other applicants due to technicality?</p>
<p>Again, sorry for the ramble....so much in my head right now.</p>

<p>Still waiting to hear and everything's been turned in since mid September.</p>
<p>DoDMERB status change today, fingers crossed!!!!</p>
<p>Problem is, I never received a scholastically qualified letter. Plus I didn't do sports (even though I am athletic). So, I have a strong thought that it's a rejection on its way. </p>
<p>Even if it is that, I have a full scholarship to Norwich University in the Corps of Cadets (without NROTC; pure school/federal aid). IMO, that's an amazing plan B, especially because its a direct commission with no commitment attached.</p>
<p>Our son received his letter of non-appointment. Thanks for all your help over the past two years.</p>

</p>
<p>Yes. They will be expected to apply to all of their sources.</p>

</p>
<p>go navy81, you're two for two with Navy. I guess that's Navy's loss and Air Force's gain. At least your girls will be together.</p>
<p>One of my classmates has two children at West Point. The oldest graduates this May.</p>
<p>^^^^ with two at USNA who are a year apart, I can say it's been great for both of them to be together - especially for the Plebe.</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>GA- Yes defiantely USNA's loss and USAFA's win!!! 1st D is very happy with her choice and is loving life now the she has been recognized!!! 2nd is ready for the new challenge. Just hard to understand why with USNA!!! USNAD&G - I know that they will lean on each other especially the 4dig!!! It is really turning H(the USNA Grad) into a fighting Falcon fan!! Something about it being your child's school !!!</p>
<p>Our son received a regret letter yesterday, rally_crew is off the list. Many thanks for all support. Best of luck to all these amazing kids!</p>
