If it's true that I don't have a solid shot at the next board, then this is really upsetting. I went through some threads that had stats of winners and I have a more competitive profile than them... I don't know what went wrong...
I can understand your frustration, this trend to offer these ECP Scholarships during the National Scholarship Process is fairly new, and it seems odd that they offer them to applicants that didn't request to be considered. I don't think anybody really knows how they make these selections and offers or what criteria they use. I saw some of your stats and it seemed like you would have been competitive in the National process. Not really sure if the ECP folks use the second board to try and select quality applicants to their programs or if Cadet Command somehow thinks that they are not competitive for the 3rd Board, it's anyone's guess.
When it comes to selecting applicants for a National Scholarship there are the areas that are raw numbers such as GPA, SAT/ACT, PFT Scores, Boxes checked for EC's and athletics, Then comes the part that can't be measured on a number matrix, the interview, leadership, the CBEF (250 points), and the Board score (350 points). Those last two alone count for 600 out of the total 1400 points. These are the things you have no control over.
The fact remains that you were competitive enough that they offered you the ECP Scholarship, why only that is anyone's guess.
You aren't the first or last this has happened to, When my younger son was just starting his MS2 year a new cadet came to the program that had not received a scholarship from any of the three boards. On paper he was an exceptional applicant, great GPA, high test scores and loads of athletics and leadership. The Cadre was really surprised he had not received an offer. On the first APFT he scored a 320, three weeks into school they offered him a Battalion 4 year scholarship. Point is there is more then one road to your goal, if you really want this then work hard, be ready for that first day and score high on your first APFT, put yourself in the position to take advantage of what they may have to offer, it's happened to many from this board. If you want a shot at Active Duty Army as an Officer then stick to the path of ROTC at a traditional program, not ECP.
