Anybody navigate a service academy/ROTC scholly application process lately?

Daughter will be a 10th grader this year. She wants to be a part of the Long Grey Line. She jokes that the USAFA is her safety school, but realistically I think VTCC is her backup plan. Not sure if she's gonna be legit West Point material, but I guess the fact that she's a she and from a school and region that doesn't send a lot of kids there will help. I generally understand the USMA application process. My questions are more about how to concurrently work the ROTC scholly to VT angle while also pursuing the former. Seems to be sorta tricky for any number of reasons. ** Edited by JoesterVT at 7/7/2025, 4:18:24 PM

IT should be very doable. We've had some friends kids apply to both.
