<p>impreza - do you have an LOA? If you do then you only need “a” nomination. A congressional is not necessary.</p>
<p>If you don’t have an LOA - then your congressman is sorely misguided. He should consider you for a nomination.
This is the reason— having a MOC nomination gives the Academy more flexibility in your appointment - they can use either nomination. Remember even though there are about 400 kids with presidentials they are limited in the number of apppointments they can give with a presidential nom. I think it is 100. So if you rank 101 - you will be out of luck and they won’t be able to appoint you with that nomination.<br>
Many applicants with presidential’s also get congressional noms. Often they win their appointments with their congressional nom and not their presidential.</p>
<p>You should talk with your MALO. MALO’s often work with congressional committees to help them understand the process. Good Luck.</p>
