HELP AFROTC scholarship

Paying for College Scholarships
1

<p>I am new to CC but I applied for the AFROTC scholarship and had my interview (which I think went very well) about a month ago. I’ve been reading about lots of people who have high GPA as well as test scores, but still don’t get the scholarship. I have a 3.284 GPA (low, I know) but I go to a very competitive charter school where good grades are hard to come by. My ACT score is 33. 35 in English, 34 Science, 28 Math, and 33 Reading. I have a long list of extracurriculars including many sports, Model UN, lots of service, and my Eagle Scout. What are my chances of getting the scholarship? I will copy my resume below. Thanks!!</p>
