Looking for advice. DS received a letter of assurance last week from USMA, which puts him in a situation he hasn't planned for. Although USMA is clearly his first choice, he has applications in progress at USNA and USAFA, as well as 3 colleges with Army ROTC programs. He is now considering pulling out of some of these applications, as he feels he has (by far) the greatest chance at getting the appointment to USMA. All he has left on his application is clearing the medical exam and getting a nomination. (We live in a "less competitive" district.) His argument is that if he fails to get the appointment to USMA for some unforeseeable reason, he probably wouldn't get appointments to the other SAs. He thinks his time is best spent focusing on getting his USMA nomination and working on just one or two Plan B schools. I'm wondering if not completing his other applications, especially the ones for USNA and USAFA, will a negative impact on his nomination interviews. He plans to speak with his FFR in the near future and get her opinion, but I thought I'd see what experience and advice others have on this issue.
