<p>From a USMA admissions rep:
</p>
<p>Many kids do apply to and are accepted at multiple SA’s. My own opened applications at 3 SA’s - it worked out for her.</p>
<p>You both are correct - early in the process many kids don’t know what they want. Hopefully, they spent time last summer researching the different services and careers and have begun to form some career goals.</p>
<p>At this point in the game - seniors are finishng their nomination packages and preparing for interviews. MOC’s approach this all differently but here in PA you only get to choose 1 academy to be considered for a nomination. Additionally, our congressman requires candidates to rank their preference.</p>
<p>I don’t think it would reflect well on a candidate who puts USNA for one senator, USAFA for the other and ranks USMA as #1 with the CP. Playing this game could be disasterous. </p>
<p>Think about what Service you want first - you will spend most of your time there - on the job.</p>
