i have a feeling that the letter of recommendation from this guy that doesn’t even know you will be really ****ty and not help you at all… why are you even sending it to any nomination source BESIDES the one hes connected to, house of reps?

It’s not who writes your recommendation, but what they say… at least thats what UVa said. I don’t know how it works in your district, but in mine the congressperson doesnt even have any real influence on the nominees besides just signing the paper that her staff hands her, so in my case I don’t think connections to the Representative would help at all… the USMA grads would just read some letter from some guy that doesnt know me, where the guy talks about how connected he is and is expecting to be influential to something he isnt even a part of, and they will just think the same thing that all these other people on this board will think.
