decent candidate?

Okay I am graduating college in December this year and I have heard that OCS is becoming increasingly more competitive. I’ve been interested in commissioning since beginning of college but was unable to do ROTC. Can anyone give me a little insight on the current application process and characteristics that would make me a good candidate for OCS selection.

I also was interested if anyone can speak to the branch availability in their recent OCS classes- intel, signal, CA, etc. I have been interested in intel for the most part but I am not sworn off as I know there is limited spots.

Here is a few stats of mine:
3.0 gpa at University of Florida
Economics and business admin major
Supervisor and leadership experience at work
Strong fitness background and certified personal trainer
Age 21, Female, 165 lbs 5’11”
Coding experience, python, C++, R
Relationships with current and former federal LE agents
(I have a DEA internship lined up)

Summer classes to meet critical tracking progress?

So I am a upcoming senior economics major with business admin minor. I switched to economics this past fall from accounting in my junior fall. Fall semester I should have taken ECO3101 for critical tracking but there were no seats so advising waived the hold on my spring registration bc I simply just couldn’t take the class bc of seat availability. This spring I just took ECO3101, and to make a long story short I had the worst semester and academic performance of my life this spring. I did not get the C I needed for critical tracking, so I just got a hold for fall for not meeting critical tracking progress two semesters in a row. I thankfully was able to register for ECO3101 summer A, and I am going to retake it and I know for a fact I can obtain a C or better.

My question - will performing well in ECO3101 this summer give me the academic standing to stay in my major and proceed with my fall classes?
Essentially can I use summer to make up for my critical tracking progress and put me back on track?

I do have an advising appt on Tuesday but classes start tomorrow so I was wondering if anyone knew the degree to which summer can be used to make progress to clear hold for fall registration.

The hold stated that if it is not resolved by end of drop/add for fall, I will be dropped from fall registration.

Edit: I do plan to graduate this fall, my degree audit with the retake scheduled for summer, still says I will fulfill all requirements pending successful completion of courses registered
