<p>corrected: if you have an LOA and are selected for appointment NOT from the national pool, you WILL count against your MOC’s slate. LOA’s have nothing to do with the nomination process except that a nomination may be one of the requirements listed in the LOA. it doesn’t matter how you get the appointment, if you’re not from the national pool, you WILL count against the slate.</p>
<p>Prothero is right about the CFA, it’s pass/fail, and it looks like you definitely passed it (those are stellar scores!). But other posters have mentioned that if your scores are super amazing (like yours) it could help your WCS score a little bit more than just passing.</p>
