My DD applied to three SAs. A lot of the application efforts were easily adapted to apply to all three - MOC interviews, training for the CFA, letters of rec. The academies seem to want a lot of essays and unlike the poster above, it did take more effort than simply changing the name of the school in order to make them work for each other. However she was still able to use large chunks of one essay for another.
You would think that DODMERB would be the same across the board, but for some reason two of the three schools received the wrong info. And, of course, if you read these boards you know that what may require a remedial at one school is not even blinked at by another.
