I am curious if this is your personal opinion or if you can share where you found this guidance.Please do not join ROTC. It will greatly decrease your chances of joining USNA.
IMHO, it's flat-out incorrect. Joining NROTC and doing well, having a positive relationship with your CADRE and leadership, and having an additional nomination source, are all positives.
Your statement regarding not submitting a similar application is very true. New personal statements, letters of recommendation from college professors who the applicant has made an effort to establish a good rapport with, and solid grades taking a plebe-like schedule are key.
