The primary requirement is to be selected for a flight school slot which means a guy has to be an officer. There are three commissioning sources for air force 2nd Lieutenants: Air Force Academy(usafa), Afrotc and usaf ots.
The best chance to be a pilot in the Air force is to commission as a 2nd Lieutenant at the Air Force Academy. The Air Force Academy graduates about 900 students a year and over 60% attend flight school. Afrotc commissions about 2500 2nd Lieutenants a year and about 20% attend Flight School. Both the academy and afrotc are allotted about the same number of flight school slots each year. USAF OTS commissions around 1000 2nd Lieutenants a year but is only allotted around 50 flight school slots.

The service academies have almost identical admissions processes.

The usafa website provides insight into how the "whole person" score is determined. It isn't only academics. The Air force Academy values leadership in athletic and non athletic extracurricular activities. For instance Captain of a hs lacrosse team or Class Officer. Also non school activities. Billy Mitchell award for CAP or Eagle Scout.

[Note: The academy pays for eye surgery for academy cadets. The air force would rather have the surgery done in their clinic by their surgeons. Having any eye surgery done prior to the academy can be disqualifying.]

An education, which it seems you sadly lack in. About a 3.5 grade average through high school , and then be prepared to study.
