Highly selective. Several from our high school have been offered the scholarship over the last three years. All but one chose to go elsewhere however. The student who did accept was student body president, a National Merit Scholar, Plan II Honors, etc etc.
The others who went to Duke and Ivy’s were all National Merit Scholars, all had close to perfect test scores, grades and all had unique interests or leadership.
But the selection committee also tends to want a “diverse” group each year…so they choose from all sizes of high schools from all parts of the state.
