Hello - So I am going to be a senior this fall and I want (more than anything) to attend West Point. Unfortunately I found out about just this summer and I’ve been looking at the admissions to do list and I am nervous as hell. Not to mention confused.
My main concern is the Nominations. From what I gather everyone applying needs to get one but what is terrifying me is that I need to appeal to Congress?! If anyone could help clear that part up for me (explain to me what I have to do to get a nomination) I would be extremely grateful.

Note: I apologize if there is already a thread for this.

Thank you!!
