<p>I only got one nomination and got in. I think receiving more than one gives you a greater chance of getting a congressmen’s slot, which are the ones filled first (and they get their appointments earlier), but I always thought since most of the class came from the national pool, it didn’t matter if you were a principle or not if you were ranked high enough to receive an appointment in the first place. But I really wouldn’t know since we weren’t ranked by our congressmen- he just submitted a list of 10 and let them choose the ones they wanted (two to fill his open slots, and the rest from the pool).</p>
