<p>I have a question for anyone that might be able to answer it. I recently received my triple qualified letter and am waiting to hear from my congresswoman regarding an appointment. My question is, if I receive the primary nomination from my congresswoman, am I guaranteed an appointment?</p>
<p>i think the only gauranteed appointments are for loa's, but being triple qualified means you have a real good shot.</p>
<p>Hey-
I think if you receive the primary nomination and you have a Triple Q letter, you are guaranteed an offer of appointment (provided you don't do anything stupid like get in trouble with law).</p>
<p>I don't think so, actually...</p>
<p>When you receive your Principal nomination, it states something to the effect of "As long as you are found fully qualified by the Academy, you will receive an appointment". I don't feel like going and looking at the letter, but I know it says something close to that.<br>
The information on the following site seems to agree to.

<p>Most MOC do not rank their nominees. They just submit a list and leave it up to the particular academy. Depending on the whole person score and ranking, it is possible that none of the MOC's unranked nominees receive an appointment.

<p>When we were at CVW they said if you are QQQ and get prinicipal then you are going.</p>
<p>According to West Point-</p>
<p>If a candidate is designated a "principal" they are in if they are qualified, whether or not they are the best according to the Academy's own ranking. And if the candidate has an LOA, they are also in if they meet the admissions requirements - the academy will find them a slot, and if they don't yet have a nomination, a nomination source will be found for them.</p>
