I have a lot riding on getting the Presidential Scholarship and was worried about how competitive it is. What are the traits and stats/activities of those who get it? How many get it and how many apply? What are my chances do you think?

Here are my stats:
4.4+ GPA weighted and 4.0 unweighted
1st in class rank by a mile
National Merit Finalist
34 ACT
1460 SAT
Full IBDP classes with a 7 in Math Studies and a 6 in Spanish (haven’t tested anything else yet)
From a small, inner-city school in Arkansas
Visited campus once; in regular communication with admissions counselor

Some activities:
Member of volunteer student blues band
President of Student Council (member all 4 years)
Band - All-State Alto Sax player
Heavily involved in youth group; serves on statewide council for Catholic youth
Captain of Quiz Bowl (4 years)
in volunteer groups such as Young Men of Distinction, Youth Group, Leadership Hot Springs
and much more I do not have the time to type

Any help/info/advice would be much appreciated! I interview and audition for the band this weekend at Tulsa Time!

It is very competitive, but your stats are great! Just remember that everyone who applied feels the same as you! My only advice is to review your application so you remember what was on it. The interviewer is used to dealing with high school students who don’t have much, if any, interview experience, so try not to stress about it. Good luck!
