<p>I didn't apply for any presidentials, but a friend of mine did. She told me that they don't have a set amount of each category (visual, dance, leadership, etc.) that they give each year. Instead, if they wanted to, they could give all the presidentials to dancers, or all of them to leadership candidates. While this is highly unlikely, it is true that they won't necessarily award one in visual arts, or any other category for that matter.</p>
<p>I hope this helps you better know what the process is. I do not know how many apply in all. It seems to me like there wouldn't be many bc it is so much work on a portfolio, but of course you never know! Good luck to you in the process!</p>
