How do non-scholarship cadets get contracted? I haven't been able to apply for a scholarship due to me not being able to take a SAT; I'm curious on how I can still get contracted without the scholarship.

Which branch? AFROTC waived the SAT requirement this year.

For this year, AFROTC waived the SAT requirement. However, the AFROTC application window closes on 14 Jan 2021. The Army ROTC application window closes on 4 Feb 2021. Army ROTC does require that you submit a copy of your ACT/SAT cancellation form as proof that your test was cancelled.

In the event you are not awarded a high school scholarship, you can apply for a scholarship as a college student. These are campus based scholarships, and the cadre at your campus ROTC unit will have information for you.

My recommendation is to call the college ROTC unit that serves your potential university and start the conversation now so that they can walk you through the process.

For the SAT area just show proof it was canceled and I'll basically send them my SAT when it happens once more? If I don't get a scholarship am I still able to get contracted?

Are you on campus or still a HS student? If in HS, enroll in the ROTC classes. You won't be contracted for at least a year after you show up without a scholarship. Worry about doing well your fall semester vs contracting. If you don't do well in college you'll never commission.

I can do that; hopefully I'll get a contract, but is it common or rare to be offered?

More common than not but much depends on man power needs for your graduating class. It always comes down to needs of the service.

I am still a HS student, for enrolling in a ROTC class do I do it when I meet with the advisor for my campus or do I email the admissions office
 
At least the schools I have looked at, there is an application to get into ROTC as a non-scholarship student. You don't just sign up for the ROTC class like you would in high school JROTC. You have to apply and be accepted into the program.
