<p>Don’t worry about the nom too much. You have two Senators in PA. The likelihood is that they will each nominate a slate of 10 candidates. It is very likely that all 20 of those people will be different. All you need to do is be one of those 20 people and in the eyes of USNA admissions, you will have an “official” nomination. </p>
<p>Nominations are governed by U.S. Law called Title X, and the process is exactly the same for all of the academies, so if your heart is set on USNA, don’t be swayed by any argument that says consider other academies - unless you want to.</p>
<p>There are also other nomination sources available for the candidates. Talk to your BGO about those as well.</p>
<p>Keep smiling.</p>
