Can I Transfer a Nomination?

FWIW, the guidance we are given (I’m a BGO) is that you should always apply to ALL the nomination sources for which you are eligible.

For others interested in applying in the future, you give yourself a much greater chance of securing a nomination - a required step in appointment - by doing that. I’ve seen it hurt candidates in the past who have only applied to one and not all of their sources, so I wouldn’t recommend it in the future.

As far as this question goes, I’m sure you could call or email the Academy Coordinator for your Senator and indicate your preference, but from my experience most of the nominations are already done for this cycle, and notifications are going out now. Perhaps your Senator’s schedule is different, though, and there is still time to change. What state are you applying from?
