You have a good chance for an ROTC scholarship, but West Point is tough for everybody. Good extra curricular activities overall, but not being a varsity athlete will hurt your chances at West Point or the other academies. You already understand your SAT score, but your GPA is obviously excellent and can overcome the SAT and/of ACT. Do take the ACT! Many people do better on it than on the SAT.

Remember, both the Navy and Air Force really want you to major in engineering. Army lets you major in whatever you want.

Application periods open sometime in June. Each service has a different start date.

For what it is worth, applying early is definitely a smart idea and will increase your chances of getting the college you want – especially for the Navy, which makes the final choice of college for you. You could potentially have the scholarship before Early Decision deadlines for your favorite colleges. Early Decision often increases your chances of getting accepted.
