<p>Sounds like a smart move to delete the long post. Please know that everyone is struggling for their nom. Our moc usually has 20 apps for noms…this year he has 44…much tougher to get one. The two senators had over 200 applications. Getting an interview was an accomplishment…getting a nom will be a neat trick. Fortunately son is an athlete and if they want him and if he does not get the nom, there are other routes. However, hundreds of candidates don’t get in; that’s the hard truth. Others with presidential noms are already in…maybe you need to concentrate on improving your application so they want you for who you are.</p>
