[quote=Anonymous]Mine went through the West Point application process. He obtained the Congressional Nomination as part of the process. He also separately applied for the 4 year ROTC scholarship, which he received. But since West Point doesn't take ED applications, he went ahead and applied ED to one of the highly selective schools that have on-campus ROTC cadres - Princeton, MIT, Vanderbilt, Duke, and Notre Dame all have significant ROTC programs. He was accepted ED to one of those schools. Whereupon he immediately reached out to West Point and withdrew his application.

There was never any question about how to game the system. The rules are very clear. For OP,  I suspect that if West Point found out that this applicant violated an ED contract, they'd likely rescind the acceptance. Applying to WP and applying ED to a highly selective university is a very common thing. But the regulations are very clear about what to do with a binding ED acceptance. West Point isn't happening. As always, choose carefully where you apply ED. If it's not the first choice, don't.
