<p>The merit scholarships are getting tougher and tougher to get it appears; I know people with sky-high stats who didn't even get an interview.</p>

<p>That said, I think that the essay and recommendations are extremely important in separating yourself from the pack, so I really can't accurately assess your chances. It also depends to some extent too on the other applicants, since they seem to be looking for an array of interests. Overall, I'd say the stats seem like they're in the right ballpark, but it'll depend on a lot of other factors. And that's just a random, unofficial opinion- sorry I can't be of more of a help.</p>
