The worst thing they can do is tell you "no". Put a package together while trying to improve your "weak" areas, and apply. I'd say you have a chance. How much of a chance depends on A LOT of things, and not all of them have to do with you. You're school might be overmanned, ## of people short of quota, etc, etc. If it's something you really want, go for it! Good luck!

They pay you a stipend (~$400/mon) and they pay for your books. Not as much money in it for you but you still get commissioned. As of a few years ago, they weren't giving many people advanced standing though I have no idea what the situation is like now.

This is only based on my experience at my unit, but they have given out advanced standing to one or two people in the last two and a half years and only a few scholarships. Getting a scholarship while already in college is getting more and more competitive, but not impossible. If you want it - go for it.
