I received an LOA from West Point, but after thinking more about my long-term goals, I feel like the Naval Academy or Air Force Academy might be a better fit for me, since I want to become a fixed-wing pilot.

The problem is that my congressional nomination applications are due October 29, and I can only select one academy for my representative's nomination application. I submitted my Naval Academy application about four days ago, and the only thing missing is an LOA.

Is there still a realistic chance I could receive a Naval Academy LOA before the nomination deadline? I also applied to USAFA and recently received a letter of interest from them.

I'm trying to figure out the best strategy. Should I select West Point for my representative's nomination since I already have an LOA, then try to get nominations for USNA and USAFA through my two senators? Or should I take the risk and prioritize USNA or USAFA for my representative's nomination, even though I don't have an LOA from either yet?

My main goal is to attend a service academy, but I also want to choose the one that best fits my career goals. Any advice from people familiar with the nomination and admissions process would be appreciated.
