I'm a junior and these are my credentials (Big accomplishments in bold)

Academic: ACT is 26, Unweighted GPA is 3.55, Weighted is 3.81. Took 7 honors classes, 6 APs.

Athletics: JV Track (2 years, varsity next year), Freshman Basketball, 2 TaeKwonDo 1st degree blackbelts (Assistant Instructor, captain)

Leadership: Student Government Rep (9th grade), Class President (9th grade), Student Government Cabinet position (10th grade), Student Government Secretary (11th grade), Student Government President (Currently), Boys State (Assemblyman), English Honor Society, Chinese Honor Society, History Honor Society, Church small group leader, Church activity coordinator, Church Usherboy, Assistant Instructor for TaeKwonDo, Candidate for National Honor Society, Co-founder of Church Club Basketball team

Lost track but many hours of volunteering

PT: 75 push ups in 1 minute, 60 situps in 1 minute, 6:20 minute mile.
 
Typically an AROTC 4 yr National scholarship takes an “SA” quality record.

>1300 SAT (28 ACT)

Varsity Letterman / Team Captain

Class officer/ Club officer

Eagle Scout, Boys State. etc.

Black belt is good.

Disagree...depends on what schools are on your list. If you want to do AROTC at a national draw school (Norte Dame, an Ivy) you need SA quality and obviously more is better. If you apply there’s a chance you will receive an offer. If you don’t receive an offer you can still become an Army Officer.
 
No one this forum can give you your chances. As MohawkArmy says, you’ll only know if you apply. But as a rising junior, you have time to strengthen your case.

So ask yourself this: Am I capable, with greater effort and better preparation, of improving on my grades, test scores, leadership impact, physical performance, etc.? If the answer is yes, then get going. Take the SAT/ACT again. Lean into a few leadership roles and leave a meaningful legacy. And so forth. Don’t worry about your “chances.” Focus on presenting the best version of yourself a year from now.

A-ha! Your original post was rather lengthy, yet you missed the very important detail of what grade you’re in, in your very first line. Applying to the academies requires great attention to detail, in every facet — whether it’s the application, the essays, the interviews, etc. Start now. ​
