Does it matter?

I've had the unfortunate issue of doing poorly on my fitness test for the AROTC scholarship two months ago. With my luck, 2 P.E. teachers, and 1 coach have all been unable to find the time and administer it a second time.

During my interview with the ROO my club & varsity soccer was noted, along with a varsity letter. How much of an impact will low fitness test scores have on my OML placing? Is it okay to stop stressing out about it? Or should I be stressing out about it?

"Stats" if you care to weigh it in:
GPA: 3.4 unweighted
Class Rank: 41/320
AP/Honors Student
National Honor Society Member
Varsity Soccer player & county league
Soccer Varsity Letter/All County Academic
President of Student Council
SAT: 1010(no writing) ACT: 24 (no writing)
Vice President of Mock Trial team
Member of Chess club
Police Explorer member (2+ years)
Completed local police department Youth Academy
Volunteer at town Youth Court (2+ years)
Countless community service hours (miscellaneous)
Part time job as soccer referee

Everything matters. Your academics matter more, and while respectable for most kids, your scores are pretty low for scholarship recipients.

Don't forget to have a good plan B, C, and D.
