SAT: 1390 (720 Reading, 670 Math)
GPA: 3.93 unweighted
AP Classes: By Junior year: 3 AP classes. If senior year counts (I don't think it does?) then make it 5 AP and 2 dual enrollment classes
Leadership/Extracurricular: Pretty much nothing. This has been a major source of stress for me. My parents didn't go to college out of high school (one didn't graduate and the other enlisted at 18) so they weren't familiar with the importance of demonstrating leadership and community involvement and never pushed me to do so. Now that I realize how necessary it is to have those things it's already too late to be involved in anything of real value. No sports, no clubs. I worked part-time through the school year my Junior year.
Fitness Tests: I have never been exceptionally fit. I can definitely reach the minimums for these tests (in the 30s for push-ups, 40s for sit ups, 7:30 mile) but would need to train up to have a competitive score (That being said apps are due in January so I only have a little over 2 months for any improvements, which is not much time at all).
My personal reflection is that, given my near complete lack of community involvement and non-exceptional fitness, I have very little chance for a 4-year scholarship in either AROTC or AFROTC. I'm applying for both scholarships anyway, so if people could give me opinions or advice it would be appreciated.
