Luck, frankly.

You have the stats, but so do a lot of other students. All you can do is present yourself in the best possible way you can. Write thoughtful essays. Take your time & put together a great app. Get excellent recommendations. Show interest at schools that like that sort of thing. Realize that you have done everything you can & should do, and that not getting in or not getting a scholarship is not necessarily a reflection on you personally. That is why you will read it over & over again on CC ... apply to a variety of schools, and never "expect" anything. In other words, hedge your bets.

Relax. You have worked hard, and good things will come your way if you put a little effort into the process. But WORRY doesn't do a darn thing in terms of getting you in or getting you a scholarship. So don't bother with that!
