<p>Has anyone ever heard of a applicant receiving a LOA from the United States Naval Academy but was unable to secure a nomination from a Congressperson, Senator or VP?</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve heard that those might be political.</p>
<p>Pasquinel, There is a forum for the Service Academies.<br>
Just click on “colleges” on the left side of this page and you will see the U.S. Naval Academy forum. They can answer your question.</p>
<p>thank you for the lead</p>
<p>
yes. however, the individuals did receive appointments.</p>
<p>If you have received an LOA and do not get an appointment from your MOCs or Senators, the academy will work with you to secure a nomination from another source, including the USNA Superintendent.</p>
<p>Having said that, candidates with LOAs still need to exhaust ALL of their nomination sources first.</p>
<p>Please advise! My husband and son and I practically wait by the mailbox waiting for an apointment. My son has 3 congressional nominations, is triple qualified, received an invite to the acdemy this fall, and had a LT. visit us over the summer. We have heard nothing further since receiving the nominations. He has an NROTC scholarship, but the Academy is his dream. I fear my family will spend the rest of their lives chasing our mail carrier. Please help me understand this uncertainty. He has no LOA and I am feeling very unsure…</p>
