<p>Everything that I have read on this forum…is that the admissions process and the nomination process are totally mutually exclusive processes. The admissions process does not influence the nomination process…so…</p>
<p>If the admissions process “liked” a candidate and the nomination process “did not like” a candidate…I can logically see how a LOA can get generated from the admissions process and NO nomination from the nomination process.</p>
<p>Am I too naive or misguided in my logic, or is it more complicted than this? It would be interesting to learn, if anyone factually knows, if the admissions process does indeed influence the nomination process.</p>
