<p>i applied for nomination and i heard that theres going to be an interview for those who meets the min. requirement. i live in the area where maritime or USMMA aren't popular. There was only one person U.S merhchant Marine Academy as his first choice in my district and i think there's going to be none this year. i meet the requirement b/c i have over 1200 on SAT (over 600s on both section) and GPA is 3.0. Here's my question, if i applied for USMMA as my first choice and no one is choosing USMMA as their first choice even though i kind of messed up in interview do i still get the nomination?</p>
<p>Don't mess up the interview :)</p>
<p>Just because no one else applies doesn't mean you're guaranteed...but if you meet the requirements, you've got an excellent chance.</p>
<p>Just go do it, don't worry about any other people in the lobby. No worries. It’s the size of one’s will which determines success.</p>
<p>(ok, I stole that from the USNA Rugby calendar)</p>
