In hindsight, applying only to one would have been the smart thing to do. In our state/district, the MOCs coordinate noms, so a person is not going to get multiple noms. As a result, there can be a lot of wasted work to apply to all of the academies. Frankly, I think one should initially decide how they want to serve and apply to that academy - not apply to several academies and then decide how they want to serve.
As far as ROTC, some don't want that experience - it's the SA or reapply. I see nothing wrong with that.
