College ROTC & acceptance questions?

I was wondering if you could take ROTC in college just by selecting it or if you had to be chosen. Like when I'm selecting my courses would I be able to put down ROTC? Or would I have to send in an application and hope to get picked if I don't get a scholarship?

I wanted to get a degree in criminal justice and minor in military science and hopefully become a special investigation officer or an intelligence officer.

I want to attend a Army or Air Force ROTC college but I'm not so sure if my grades will allow me to get a scholarship. I have a 3.5GPA I'm not taking any AP or Honors and I play soccer and really the only leadership position I hold is Corps Commander at my AFJROTC high school. But I have been in the local newspaper and the news for my work at volunteering and donating that was acknowledged. I'm not sure if that'll help.. Also, I haven't been offically tested but I can do 30 push ups in a minute, 60 sit ups in a minute and can run 1.5 miles in under 9 minutes and I can do about 6-8 pull ups. But what do you think my chance of getting a scholarship would be

    Seeing as this was asked in UK answers, I don't know.

    I do know that you just select the class like any other in the US for your first couple of years, then either contract or compete to be able to contract with the government for your remaining two years. The lower classmen are there to see what it is, while the upper classmen are there to become officers.

    Talk to your cadre at your local ROTC!
