“While screening your application, I was informed that you have already received a nomination from another source. To give other qualified applicants from our state an opportunity to compete for the limited number of appointments, an effort is made to avoid duplicate nominations. Therefore, I am unable to nominate you.”</p>

<p>So are you sure that you want to stick with your oh-so “knowledgeable?” post -

<p>A MOC who handles maybe twenty or thirty candidates per year does not necessarily an expert make. Adding marginally qualified candidates to the national pool may cause him to look good to his constituents but it does nothing for the quality of the incoming class. And just causes extra work for Admissions. There is already about an 8:1 ratio of total candidates to successful appointments in the pool. Do you honestly think adding a few more at the bottom of the list will increase the odds of an appointment?</p>

<p>Bottom line. EVERY Senator and Representative by submitting ALL the best candidates in a competitive slate will result in the absolute best candidates to the class. Any further manipulation by the MOCs can only equal this effort but present many opportunities to degrade it.</p>

<p>leoti, everything I have posted on these threads is an absolute fact. Since you are ignoring it, perhaps it would be more prudent for you to examine the credentials for those with whom you agree.</p>
