Can I Transfer a Nomination?

Because if USNA is “honestly” your first choice, then you don’t need the USAFA nomination. Either the USAFA nomination is irrelevant or you are not being honest with yourself.

Two nominations [not sure if this is official word or not; I don’t recall], seems to increase your “value” to an academy. [Again, I’m not sure if this adds to whole person score or not] Think about it, the Academy does not get to see you except through the eyes of teh BGO and the nominating sources. If two nominations support you, that gives the Admissions Board some additional insight as in: “Wow, this must be a really great kid if BOTH Rep. and Sen. have nominated this kid.” Ergo, IF NA is your first choice [as stated], then you should be excited about getting two nominations.

But, the real point is that you listed NA as first. You either meant it or you didn’t.
good luck.
