Nomination to a United States Military Academy

To be considered for a nomination, students will need to open a candidate file in the Seattle office. Applicants will be scheduled for an interview once their file is complete. Interviews are held in the Seattle office in early December. Because obtaining a nomination is only one step in the application process, applicants are encouraged to contact the academy of their choice to start a "Candidate File" as soon as possible.

To be considered for an academy nomination, please submit the following information to the Seattle office:

A sealed certified copy of your high school transcript;
Three letters of recommendation, at least one of which is from your high school principal or counselor;
A copy of your SAT or ACT scores. (The McDermott identification number with the Educational Testing Service for the SAT test id 4424; for the ACT test it is 7744. If you have not yet taken the test, you may list this code number on your request for scores reports to be sent directly to my office); and
A 500-word essay detailing why you qualify for a nomination.

All documentation must be sent in the same package to the Congressman's Seattle district office. All information must be received on or before Friday, November 14, 2008.

Interviews will be held in the Seattle office Saturday, December 12, 2008. If you have not done so, you should contact the Academy to start a "Candidate File" as soon as possible.

If you have questions about applying to a United States Service Academy, please call 206-553-7170.
