The Anxiety of Congressional Nominations

One of the biggest differences between the Academy application process and normal college is the Congressional nomination. A whole separate application process just for nominations is one reason why applying to 1 Academy is equivalent to applying to 10 colleges.

Your first step is to find your local Representative and two Senators’ websites for their application details. Do not bust a deadline; it’s a sure-fire way to exclude yourself.

There are 435 Congressional districts and 100 Senators. These 535 offices are not standardized; they run their process independently of each other. So, if their application process is unclear, the best thing to do is contact the office and politely ask for clarification.

Only 30% of Academy applicants get the nomination. Why is that? We are going to answer that question in detail on an upcoming webinar on (Details TBD). But the first reason is they get overwhelmed, and don’t have a game plan. Do NOT let that be you!

Note. Coast Guard Academy is the only one that does not require a Congressional nomination.
