Marist and Clarkson are Army, not Navy. I understand why you stated that because Blake discussed AROTC, but the OP is only interested in the Navy.
Robbie,
The only chance any one should give you is that you have 100% chance of not getting one if you do not apply.
IMPO, your stats are too low for USNA, especially the SAT, but you may be the perfect candidate for NAPS. (Prep). SA cadets usually enter with high 600's on each section. USNA is for all purposes a university that is math/science oriented and that is why they have such high SAT scores.
NROTC is considered among the 3 as the most competitive, but the unique quality that it has compared to AFROTC is the recipient is tied to the school. In other words the mid at NCST will have different stats than the mid at TAMU and the mid at UPenn. The school matters in the decision making process. This is why it is important to select the right schools for your list. If you place all Ivies, chances are you will not get a scholarship, based on the fact that academically you are not a match.
Good luck. Submit your paperwork regardless of what anyone says. I have been here for 4 yrs. I have seen posters ask chances with amazing resumes, and everyone saying they were a lock, to only get the "at this time" letter. I have seen others where posters felt they had no chance to get "Congrats, we would like" letter.
Woops, missed that part.
