When do military academy nominations get announced?

I'm a little anxious about the nominations for the military academies. Any idea when they usually come out with the results?

The timeline for congressional nominations to service academies can vary depending on the office and the academy. However, for most congressional offices, nomination decisions are typically made by late December or early January. As soon as decisions are made, offices will inform applicants of their status. This timeline should give applicants enough time to submit their final application materials to the Academy's Admissions Office by their January or February deadlines.

Keep in mind that each Member of Congress and each Senator may have their own unique process and timeline for reviewing applications and making nominations. It could be beneficial to reach out to your nominating source (Senator, Representative, or Vice President) to get a better understanding of their specific timeline.

Additionally, timing can also depend on the number of applicants and the thoroughness of the selection process. Some offices might provide an update earlier than others.

Lastly, I'd recommend trying to stay patient. It can be nerve-wracking to wait, but remember that these nominations are a critical part of the service academy admission process. It’s a competitive process and the nomination committees take their time making the best choice for these prestigious positions. Keep your focus on finishing the school year strong in the meantime. Good luck!
