<p>I got my letter of assurance today. However, so far, I got a letter saying that I did not get the nomination from my one senator.
I am very worried. What happens if I do not get any nomination? Do I have any other ways to get appointed?</p>
<p>If you got an LOA, you pretty much got your appointment to West Point, assuming that you've passed your CFA.</p>
<p>Don't worry, West Point will find a nominating source for you.</p>
<p>"Pretty much" is the qualifier used. Nothing is for certain in life except for death and taxes. An LOA does send a signal to the MOC's that West Point wants you, but that doesn't mean they have to listen to West Point. The MOC committee might decide that someone else is a better candidate for whatever the reason, thus the "Letter of Assurance". IF you get a nomination, THEN we will hold a slot for you. Sure seems like it takes an act of Congress to get into one of these schools. Hey, wait just a minute...</p>
<p>Make sure that your other Senator AND your congressman (or congresswoman) are aware that you have received an LOA. I would suggest you call them TODAY to let them know this very important piece of information. Also make sure that you have applied for Vice-presidential.</p>
