<p>"so, basically my chances of getting an LOA is better if i turn in my whole application before the deadline on March? from a source i found out that usna tries to get a quota, so turning in my application early will give me a better chance for an appointment. did i get that right?</p>
<p>i have received a nomination from 51st district congressman Bob Filner in California, and i am working on my usna application. but next week is finals week in school, and there are other things keeping me from working on my usna application."</p>
<p>If you do not turn in your application (yes, the WHOLE thing) by the deadline, you will not be considered for an appointment. That’s why they call it a DEADLINE. </p>
<p>I would imagine USNA will not be handing out LOA’s in March. Or even February. Heck, in January, they are bound to be more busy handing out appointments. At that point, nominations are in, so qualified candidates who might have merited an LOA in September will receive an appointment. </p>
<p>Again, you make no sense…</p>
