Can I Transfer a Nomination?

I’ve applied to both the Air Force and Naval Academies, and I am unsure as to which I’d rather go to if I’m accepted. I applied for nominations from my congressman and ONE of my senators, and ranked my academy preference 1. USNA; 2. USAFA; 3. USMA; 4. USMMA on each for the sake of consistency.

I was recently nominated to USNA by my congressman. I have a feeling that if my senator also nominates me, it will be to USNA as well. I’d rather have one to each USNA and USAFA. Can I contact my senator and notify her office that I’ll prioritize USAFA for her nomination? Furthermore, if she nominates me to USNA, is that nomination transferable to USAFA?

Thanks!
