<p>Competitive: The MOC gives WP ten names. West Point rank orders the candidates and picks the best one for admission. If that person isn’t qualified, West Points continues to go down the list until a qualified candidate is found.</p>
<p>I got that quote from the following link. It has a good explanation of the different types of nominations. <a href=“http://www.west-point.org/academy/malo-wa/educators/noms.html[/url]”>http://www.west-point.org/academy/malo-wa/educators/noms.html</a></p>
<p>SLS3P4S - We live in Washington. Last year my son got the same type of letter from both our state senators because he got his nomination from our representative. Our senators find out who each of the representatives are nominating so they dont nominate the same people. That way the academies receive more candidates to choose from.</p>
