<p>i applied as well, and i think they only give the trustee scholarship to 1-2 people each year.</p>

3

<p>I thought about 30 people win the Trustee Scholarship.</p>

4

<p>well...in that case i have no idea</p>

<p>as for your chances, i'd say it all depends on the essay</p>

5

<p>I was under the impression that up to 30ish people became Trustees
I agree that it is based primarily on the essay, considering most applicants will have near perfect stats</p>
