Main Nomination vs Competing Nomination

But in matters that are very specific to your own application, never circumvent your own BGO- they are your avenue to the admissions office.

I have to go with JAM on this one. About screen #6 of the CGIS, it specifically states that if one has questions, after checking the linked FAQs, to email their regional director. They have the candidate record and they have the answers. Initial BGO training is just sufficient, in most cases, not to be dangerous. Sure they are busy but this is their job. Do as they say. Follow their instructions. Contact them with your questions.</p>

CC included.
There are many parents who have “been there, done that,” alumni, current Mids and BGOs [and combinations of the same] on here that offer very sound advice.

I would never trust anything from a forum. Parents, alumni, and current mids often have a very limited parochial view which often is not applicable to the extent that they think it is. Use the forum perhaps for ideas but, for anything important, confirm with the Admissions office.</p>

triple q’d with principle nomination- very well should get nomination. However, there are other pieces that can factor into that- including negative BGO interviews and/or teacher recs that may be received by USNA following the Triple q’d letter. It happens.

BGO interviews and teacher recs are a part of the initial triple qual and, therefore, would never be used to revoke it. Getting in trouble of some type or poor grades, in addition to the aforementioned medical issues, could, however, be an issue. Perhaps you were thinking of the very few LOAs which are awarded without full submittals.</p>

A principle nom that is no longer triple-q’d may lose that principle slot depending on timing- in this particular case, should not be an issue- a finger heals quickly. But much will depend on when that MOCs candidates come up for review- if the principle has not been cleared by then, the second on the list will be looked at. Put in the category that time and tide wait for no man.

This isn’t the way it works. Candidates are reviewed depending on their competitiveness when their packages become complete, not as a group. When the slate is sumitted and when all the packages have completed review, WPM totals are simply ranked and the candidate with the greatest WPM is awarded the nomination. Nominations for candidates requiring medical waivers, so long as progress is normal, will normally be held until I-Day. Time and tide will wait.</p>
