So as the title says I am applying to 3 academies... USMA USAFA and USNA. My number one is West point and I do not have a particular preference between Navy and Air Force yet.
Congressional nominations are applied to two academies. My JROTC nomination only applies to West Point. If I was fortunate enough to receive a nomination from my congressman should I use it for Navy and Air Force? I feel like it's a betting game. I want to maximize my chances of getting into West Point primarily, but I also do not want to end up empty handed with no appointments.
Are JROTC nominations not "as good" to have? I understand that only 20 candidates can come from JROTC so does that mean that I have a worse chance? I live in a very competitive state and congressional district(NY 20)
If having a JROTC nomination is going to minimize my chances compared to having a JROTC and a Congressional(if I was fortunate to receive one of course) then I want to use my congressional at West Point and then forgo either Air Force or Navy(Unless I was EXTREMELY fortunate and received more than one congressional nom)
I would really appreciate if someone could give insight because my congressional applications are due very soon.
