What are my chances?

I can only speak from our experience with our son applying for NRTOC and academies. But he was worried about being competitive with a score in the high 1300 range. And I would caution you against making a statement like " I don’t have any sports under my belt due to participation in multiple honor societies and community service projects". You are likely competing against kids who did sports, multiple EC's, church group, volunteer service, band, held officer positions in multiple clubs, took dual credit or AP/IB courses, worked, commuted, helped out family members, tutored etc.
The one thing they had in common if they are competitive for scholarship or admissions is stellar time management.

I was a long term sub our son's junior year. I saw him on campus, looking like some kind of zombie. A custodian even came to me concerned, he thought the kid was going to just fall down one day. He would sleep in the car when we rode together. He likely averaged 3-4 hours of sleep a night the entire academic year. But, he had a goal, and he did the work to get there. He had over 500 service hours, was an officer in multiple clubs, commuted to work and school over 60 miles a day, taught TaeKwonDo and competed. Did dual credit and honors courses. He found a way to manage his time and did it successfully. It paid off.
Covid has made your path more challenging for sure. But find a creative way to improve. And panels can see a 'resume fluffer' from a mile away, starting a sport your senior year (prior to covid) would have been noticed- and not likely in a postive way. Be prepared to talk about how you made your unit, club better. To make up for no athletics, you would have to max your PT, in every category. Athletics is about fitness, but also working as a team, being coachable, showing dedication and perserverence, and leadership. All traits you need in the service. Be ready to discuss how your JRTOC experience showed you those traits, and how you were able to develop them.
Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, just my recollections from our experience and what I have learned in the last months going through this.

Thank you for the advice and sharing your sons experience
 
I will retry my practice run of the test with a 2 minute rest time because that can make a huge difference. As for my SATs, I actually was looking at my sophomore year and not my junior year practice.....that test scored a 1250, is that a good score?
You need to do it to the PFA requirements.
I honestly cannot recall the order.
IE it might be run, push up, sit up OR could be sit up, push up, run.

Read the PFA form.

I am not going to respond regarding a practice SAT. If you said you score 125 on your PSAT as a soph or junior, than I would say that is better than the 1100. However, practice is practice. You need to take the actual test. I would advise you to also do the ACT if possible. Some do better on 1 test over the other

I will follow the PFA guidelines. Also, thanks for the advice, I will try both. Not sure if the money is there for me to take both but I will do my best to save up

speak to your high school guidance counselor, the college board usually hands out a limited number of fee waivers and the guidance counselor should know about them. Our son used one and tested ACT and SAT more than once.
Besides taekwondo, did your son do any varsity sports? Just curious.
No, he didn't. But he is a third degree black belt and spent 11 years in the sport. And he was an instrutor and test moderator for the last 3 years. He didn't do any school sports.

That’s pretty cool....I wish I didn’t have to move around so much, otherwise I would’ve continued participating in karate and fencing.

Hey, you just found an essay topic to write on, how you managed to move, deal with change, new things and still succeed! Our son hopes to fence for Navy, he's never done it.

I never thought about that.....moving kinda seemed to be the norm, so it wouldn’t be anything I would’ve thought about. Thank you for pointing that out.
 
Did you follow the exact PFA?
That means including rest times and in the proper order.

You may not like what I am about to read, but take it to heart.

I do not have enough fingers and toes for my entire family, including my pets regarding watching posters stats like yours that fail the 1st week at ROTC regarding the PT aspect.

My DS was a cadet PT instructor. They are going to look and count the proper form. FORM is key word here. 111 in 120 seconds seems off to me. for sit ups if it is the proper form. In essence you are doing 1 per second.

I say this only for the fact it can bite you when you arrive at your det. Same with if you are not following the limited rest time, or the proper order.
~ You can do 111, but if the elbows, knees, etc are not in the proper position you will be wasting your energy. That 1 you thought counted, didn't in their eyes, so now you are doing 2 for every 1. Your body will feel the exertion. That parlays into the next portion will be lower. Score will lowwer.

For the Army, you are required to score at least 60 points in each category (Pushups, Situps, and 2-miler). If you executed the pushups with correct form, I see no reason why you cannot pass the APFT.
You are allowed 10 minutes minimum and 20 minutes maximum of rest time between each event (https://www.nmu.edu/militaryscience...Science/files/UserFiles/APFT_Brochure_Web.pdf).

The Army is looking for Situps, not Curlups. Hands behind the head, sitting up until your neck just passes your butt. For pushups, your arms must create a 90 degree or more bend to be counted, and back straight/neck slightly up. The order of events is Pushups, Situps, 2-mile run. Refer to the previous link for additional information.

Keep in mind for AROTC, you send in 1 minute of Pushups, 1 minute of Situps, and a 1 mile run for the PFA to be considered for a scholarship.

As for your test score, you really do need to get that higher. You're competing against kids with 1350+ SAT and 28+ ACT scores.

Good luck!

Thanks, any information, such as the information you’ve provided, helps. All this is very new and my parents don’t have much knowledge about the arotc scholarship process nor college process seeing as I would be the first to go to college.
 
To be very blunt, I think you are presently lacking in all of the areas needed to gain a scholarship. No leadership, low scores, and no sports. I do not think that you can fix all of that in a year. Look at the stats of those that have gotten scholarships.

I forgot to state my leadership and those were only my PSAT scores, but I don’t play sports because move a lot. I should’ve stated all the aspects in my profile......I was being very general. My bad.
