<p>I know this award is prestigious. I am worried that my writing is not good enough. How hard is it to be a finalist to go to Miami in January. Are there previous finalists here?</p>
<p>What colleges like this award?</p>

<p>It is very difficult to be a winner. They only select 150 students nationwide across all the artistic disciplines. It is worth applying and it will be valuable to be a semifinalist or honorable mention. And if you win, it will be a terrific opportunity for you. If you are a finalist it will give a boost to your application, but it will not guarantee admission to an Ivy League school if that is what you are hoping for. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>It's incredibly difficult because it's part of the Presidental Scholars in the Arts program. Definitely apply if you love writing, and don't be afraid of the competition. I can't promise you you'll win, but you have to apply. It's not like your writing automatically gets worse if you aren't accepted.</p>
<p>thanks, i know its super difficult but im just going to apply to give it a shot.</p>
