I don't play a sport that's my disadvantage. However, I am very fit. I lift weights daily, have a great presidential fitness test, and one of the most fit in my JROTC flight.

With these credentials what are my chances of getting an Army ROTC scholarship?

Oh yeah and I forgot 2017 class representative
 
I did not play sports after sophomore year but still received 4-year as an engineering major at a private school. What is your class size? Only difference between our profiles is I am an Eagle Scout and had slightly more service hours, but you are in JROTC which I have heard are weighed equally and my SAT was slightly higher comparatively, and your GPA/class rank is slightly higher.
 
Keep working on your SAT/ACT that is the only thing that jumped out to me. It's definitely within range for an AROTC scholarship, but it can never hurt to increase it. Also remember school acceptance is different than the scholarship. Schools matter from a selection perspective for the scholarship and you want to be able to use it where you got in.

Well it's Georgia southern university, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to get accepted there I had 96.8% chance according to admission chance calculators. I was also planning on being accepted into the school before I apply to the scholarship.

Thanks for the answer! My class size is 312 students btw.
 
Just a note, the interview is very important. They will be writing a detailed report of everything you do and say. Show the Air Force why they need to invest in you
 
Be prepared to illustrate leadership positions in any of your clubs. Example, were you a section leader in marching band? What positions of responsibility do you hold in JROTC? During your volunteer hours have you planned and executed a project?

Academics sound fine, but try for a 28 one sitting instead of superscore.

Athletics count. DS had no letters or significant sports participation, his other stats were much higher than yours and he did not receive an AROTC scholarship in 2011. Have plan A-Z to cover all possibilities.

Good luck and if serving as an Army officer is your goal it can be done with or without the national scholoarship.
