<p>USNA69 - I agree the discussion bears repeating that is why I found the previous post. There are three different facets to this issue.<br>
- The advantage of multiple nominations to a candidate without a LOA (increases their chances of an appointment – some candidate pools are weaker than others)
- The advantage to admissions if a candidate without a LOA is “top dog” in more than one nomination pool (Admissions has flexibility is assigning nomination sources)
- The advantage of multiple nominations to admissions when a candidate has a LOA (Admissions has flexibility is assigning nomination sources)</p>
<p>Of course all of this is moot if as the OP has indicated the MOC will not nominate a candidate who already has a presidential nomination.</p>
