<p>I have a question about the whole nominations process for the service academies...I have been told that getting more than one nomination will not improve my chances of getting an appointment. But I have also been told that getting more than one nomination would improve my chances of admission, as it would "open up more slots available." If my MOC's coordinate between themselves to not overlap their nominations, won't I be at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>I just received a senatorial nomination, and isn't that more competitive to get the West Point slot than the congressional one? If my MOC's coordinate to not overlap, I may not get the congressional. Won't that put me at that disadvantage?</p>
