<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>Not necessarily. You must be nominated. Nominators may choose to nominate none if they deem none sufficiently qualified.</p>
<p>May I suggest that your approach should be to prepare to do your very best on the interview. Good luck, go get 'em.</p>
