Indiana — Academy Nomination Guide
You have 2 Senators + 9 House Representatives with authority to nominate you to a service academy. Apply to all three of yours. Different essays, different panels, different deadlines — but multiple nominations only help.
The math for Indiana
Indiana sends a maximum of 165 current cadets to USMA, USNA, and USAFA combined (11 MOCs × 5 enrolled per MOC × 3 academies). Open vacancies per year: roughly 49.5 across the three academies. That's the cap — your actual odds depend on applicant pool size in your specific district and Senate seat.
