<p>Iceman you have much better odds than many other kids, however, only 2 will get that appt. From there you maybe placed in the national pool…again the highest scores win.</p>
<p>All of that being said, it is not a 1 in 6 chance(where they divide you into 2 piles of 6), look at it more like a percentage…which is about 16% chance of getting the appt.</p>
<p>The odds are in your favor, but remember there are people with 4 or 5 noms and don’t get accepted it. They were seen as the best of their MOCs to get the noms. The noms are needed, but once you have it the WCS will be the make or break. You will hear of 4 or 5 people from 1 district that had only 1 nom ea. and wonder how can that happen? Simple answer their WCS was so high that they were appt through various other ways. If they want you they will get you in.</p>
<p>Quick question did your MOC state if they put in a principal? Or how they put the list went in? Your MOC could have submitted 1 list with 1 name and a second list with 10 names, thus you are back at the 1 in 10 shot. He may have chosen to do the 1 so he could basically give a principal, but not tie the AF’s hands on the others sitting on that slate. Handing in a second slate with no principal allows them to decide who gets it and they get their number 1 person. DOle last yr had 2 slates and she stated the slates went in alphabetically, even showing the names, basically A-M on slate 1and N-Z on slate 2</p>
