After reading about how well everyone else has done it makes me worry about my own application.
My GPA is about 3.58
Have several college credits
ACT 21 :/
I'm 5'9" and 145 lbs
My Mile time is 5 Min 24 Sec
Push ups: 56
Sit ups:63
I played High School JV soccer freshman and sophomore years and lettered Varsity soccer Junior year.
I was on a club team during that time too.
I haven't had a job.
I have plenty of leadership activities ex. Camp Counselor, Leading a volunteer Landscaping crew, and making it to the summit MT. Adams.
And I recently faxed a recommendation from a retired Colonel to cadet command.
I've applied for Gonzaga University, University of Portland, and Oregon State University. (In that order) I finished my application in October and have been patiently waiting for a change of my status. I'm going to remain optimistic even though my chances may be slim. Oh and I interviewed at UP, great school!
Keep hoping.
In the meantime there are a few things you might consider doing.
Update your application with things that have changed since Oct-for instance gpa, ap classes taken, leadership positions acquired since then etc-we have until Feb 28th to update online.
Check with the Universities you are interested in and see about on-campus scholarship opportunities that may be available to you once you are enrolled at the school. Check with AF ROTC as well as Navy ROTC options. For instance the AF has an "express scholarship" program for specific majors once you are at school.
Another option is to check out Army National Guard or Air National Guard opportunities in your state. They will pay for college.
There are many ways to achieve the goal.
